There remains some sharp practice by some dealers selling 'OTC' badges which are in fact modern CCF badges and therefore still in production today.
These include: Ampleforth wear the old OTC design in bronzed metal but with CCF title on a red backing. Barnard Castle CCF wear the double shield badge in gilding metal. Bloxham School CCF retain their own school design in a very yellow and shiny gilding metal. The CCF's NCOs wears the Rifles cap badge alongside the school badge. http://www.bloxhamschool.com/news-an.../ccf-camp.html Christ's Hospital Have readopted their OTC badge design in metal. http://www.christs-hospital.org.uk/n...r-army-cadets/ Fettes College The school badge in silver finish.

2 pictures of Sutton Valance badges. The old OTC design and the modern CCF one. The CCF one has a pointed snout and all 4 hooves touch the ground. Dealers please take note!
The school archives show that the WW1 era badge was bronzed but worn with brass tunic buttons. https://issuu.com/suttonvalenceschoo...k_october_2014 Last edited by Alan O; 29-07-21 at 02:32 PM. |

I have been looking into Downside CCF badges and here is proof that the 2nd pattern badge shown in K&K is not OTC but CCF.
The brass shield version with OTC title is recorded by EJ Martin in 1938. CCF badge still worn with k/c today by senior cadets. Last edited by Alan O; 12-06-17 at 10:18 AM. |

From the Bloxham history:
Successive Ministry of Defence orders, issued at the speed of drill commands in 1967 and 1968, reduced the size and altered the character of the corps. It became affiliated to the Royal Green Jackets, losing its distinctive brass cap badge of the school arms and the black and white shoulder flashes, though the former has been restored in 1977. |
