Help in identifying Victorian Uniform from Badges/Patches
**EDITED - NOT VICTORIAN - See Bill's post below re Phone Number **
** EDIT 2 (I cant post new posts right now) - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR INPUT --- Chief Fire Officer, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Fire Services. 1981 is the answer --- the name even tallies "Brian Robinson" who went on to become Commissioner a decade later ** Hi, I am hoping someone may be able to help me with identification of a uniiform tunic/jacket that is dated 1981. I have spent quite a bit of time googling to see if I can determine what organisation this tunic/jacket comes from, but I have drawn a blank. Warning: I suspect it is NOT military and if so I apologise for wasting your time. But hopefully someone may be able to help. The buttons are silver and have a crown inside a laurel wreath The shoulder has embroidered logo and initials - but the initials are in script and the middle two are difficult to decipher - could be HMLFS or HMJFS or something completely different. The logo appears to be of a turbine / windmill? There is a suppliers tag in the inside jacket pocket. W G CHILD of Wandsworth and the jacket was made for C/O Robinson B90/112 on 1/8/1981 I have attached some photographs - any pointers that you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

I think the tailor's tag is really 1981. (Note the phone number. That was not the way numbers were assigned in 1881.)

Thanks Bill
I have just spotted somthing that makes me look like an idiot!! The label has a telephone number on it!! Therefore this must be 1981 and not 1881. Whoops! My questions still apply though, I still don't know what organisation it represents! |

Is this possibly some branch of the fire service?

Insignia is fire service - Brigade manager (old title - Chief Fire Officer)
https://www.firesafe.org.uk/role-str...-fire-service/ Possibly HMIFS , Her Majesty's Inspector of Fire Services (modern title - Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Fire and Rescue Services). .
