HM prison cap badge question
G'day
A friend is putting together a prison officer uniform from the time he served in HMP Risley in the 80’s. The picture is of some of his kit he still has. What he’s looking for is the cap badge. Can any members please tell me if the badge he needs is white metal, chrome or staybrite. I know nothing about prison badges but would guess it’s the chrome version he needs. Also if any member has a spare please PM me. Thanks John |

Hi John,
Looking at the items he has I would say that with the exception of the key chain none of them are from the 80's period but from the 90's.You are right in thinking the badge from that period is the chrome W/M version.Various makers J.Gaunt,Firmin,Dowlers and London Badge Company. Hwyl, Bantam |

G’day Bantam
Many thanks for your reply. I’m not sure what year he served only it was before he came to Australia. He has recently won a chrome badge on e-bay so I can now tell him that is correct for his uniform. Many thanks John |

Just out of interest, who is your friend? I was at Risley 1977-2001 so I am sure to know him!
