DARTFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL CCF

[Alan O]

I have seen various badges described as Dartford Grammar School. Cox shows a picture of the common fat horse ebay fake (lots on ebay as Kent Cyclists or yeomnary) but I believe this is one of his mistakes.

They certainly wore the West Kent horse and I have a text from the late 30s that describes them as wearing badges easily mistaken for the yeomanry's.

So 3 options:

1. It was the Yeomanrys badge design together with Roman script.

2. It was very similar with the Roman script but from a different die.

3a. It was a Gothic scripted horse the same design as the RWK as worn by the Kent Police.

3b. It was a RWK badge with the scroll cut away.

I would love to know if anyone actually has a attributable one. I recently found this CCF cap badge which replaced it afte 1947. I am now trying to date the change over from the Invicta horse to this CCF design if anyone can help. The CCF was still in existence in the 1950s and believed to have closed in the late 60s.
