Makers Mark F&S
I was looking through some badges earlier today. i noticed that Solihull School was marked F&S.
I presume that this is Firmin & Sons but i dont think ive come across it before. Can anybody throw some light on this ?

Hi Mike,
It is a modern Firmin & Son mark and can be found hidden away on some of the Scottish badges like the Argyll and Sutherlands. Also it is found twice on the Aberdeen Uni OTC badge and on a lot of the 'new metal' badges. Regards Chris

Hi there,
Weirdly enough, I also found the "F&S" makers mark on a Silver hallmarked button, which I think is a Police button. See Scans. You can also see that the button is also stamped with the more usual button backmark of "FIRMIN LONDON" and the hallmark has been apllied over the top of this. I think from the hallmark that it is from Birmingham 1947. The KC also help dates it to pre 1952. So "F&S" is reasonably recent but still at least 63years old. Cheers Ian

I have a pair of GURKHA ENGINEER collar badges with the small F&S on them.
