Hello Chaps
Can anybody please venture an opinion on validity of this badge. Has the marking F & S on the back. I was told it is for Fattorini and Son but is it possible it could be Firmin and Son? Thanks in Advance. Cheers Paul |

Collar badge, non-mess uniform (mess uniform is in silver plate IIRC), "New" style SBS issue, but not the latest. Latest will have clutch fittings for FAD.

It is a Firmin & Sons collar badge for the Lovat uniform, The SBS do not wear FAD, they wear Lovats so lugs are the current issue and not clutch pins. I have attached pictures of a pair still in their original Firmin packaging and without their packaging. Paddy |

All future badges will have clutch pins afaik... on lovats or not. I do however realise my mistake, I have a few booty mates who would rib me for that. I am sure I;ve seen new navy badges with clutch pins. Tom
