As for the others ive heard rumours but never obtained any hard evidence to say that they existed.

Thanks Mike,

Pretty important that we get this right.

If you can get photos I really need them on a white background or a dedicated scanner is best.

When you know please email me - you have my address.

Hi Chris,first 3 no no.
Last 2 possibly.
Mercers closed in the early 50`s,i tried to get hold of info with regard to the CCF with no joy at all.Im sure there is a member whose an ex Mercer pupil whom i also spoke to.
Millfield doesnt have a CCF anymore but did until the 70`s i believe,im sure that a friend has this badge.Unfortunately ive had no joy in getting hold of him.
The same person has a Mill Hill as well.
As soon as i get hold of him i`ll let you know.

Chris

Now I would like to get my hands on this and compare some really large scans of it with my other one to see if they came from the same die.

Is this from the Gurkha shop in Winchester - someone was saying that they had ordered badges with 'COPY' struck on them.
