Northern Rhodesia Railway Police ?
Gratefullfor your views on these items,on EB as 200610524721 and similar, " Collectables,Militaria.Northern Rhodesia Police,Cap Badges "
I think the advertisor has misconstrued the wavy lines as the Victoria Falls on the NRP badge,and read too much into the initials,but you never know. Thoughts please 1314 |

It is possible, but if so I would rather go with Zambian Railway Police. The badge looks too new to me. I am my by no means an expert on Northern Rhodesia/Zambian badges. Regards Andrew

Northern Rhodesia Railway Police
I believe that Traist has hit the mark,these badges are most likely those of the Zambia Railway Police.The railways of Northern Rhodesia were patrolled by the NRP prior to Independance in 1964.These duties were then removed and given to a newly formed Force,the Zambia Railway Police with responsibilities similar to that of the UK British Transport Police.It is reported that the Zambia Railways Police were disbanded in 2003,duties presumably reverting to the Zambia Police proper.
So Cedric Hayes is broadly correct; substitute Zambia for Northern Rhodesia. My Thanks for the lead. |
