Default Buttons

Help requested on some unidentified buttons, Police or Fire Brigade?

They were all in a box of Police badges.

Thank you very much, I should have known the Nigeria one, as I have just been looking at some of their badges.

Is this London Transport Police?

The first design has been offered by e-bay sellers as MF hunt, livery etc.

A couple of years ago an old card with Hotel buttons was sold on e-bay.
All buttons I knew were properly identified. This one was listed as May Fair Hotel.
I have not been able to verify the logo, because hotels change them so often.
I trust the old card: May Fair Hotel.

Thank you both, the first one MFH was all on its own.
