Both of my Non Combatant Corps badges have lugs. I am not saying they are genuine, although I have never seen one with a slider.

jeanpit-frenchy - "NCC" is a cap badge, it just looks like a shoulder title.

Is everybody quite satisfied that this is not, in fact, a railway cap badge as worn by uniformed employees of the LMS Northern Counties Committee?

Is this a joke or are you just being sarcastic.
No offence intended.

The NCC-Non Combatant Corps wore a version of the shoulder badge as a cap badge. They were produced with slider for hats and lugs for shoulder although the shoulder badge was worn as a cap badge

Putting the question another way, if NCC employees displayed their company initials on their uniforms, could this be a railway badge?

Malc, No, I have not yet found any detailed pictures of Midland (later LMS) Northern Counties Committee employees wearing uniform caps, but I have been making enquiries on the Irish railways forum.

All the civy shoulder titles Ive got have loops on them, however my NCC shoulder titles have spade/hex lugs on them. My civy collection is small so I could be wrong.

The LMS railway seems to have adopted crested buttons and "LMS" cap badges after its formation in the early 1920s. The same system applied on the company's Irish lines, the cap badge being "NCC". However, having discussed the matter at the Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Museum this morning, the general consesus of opinion is that the serifs on the LMS/NCC badges were slightly different. An illustratation of a Non Combatant Corps cap badge found in the library shows a very similar "NCC" badge, albeit with full stops after each letter - "N.C.C."
