Identification, please...
Could I please ask your assistance in identifying the attached badges. If not the "unit", perhaps the county/city/town that the coat of arms on the badge represents in the first four cases?
For size information, if it helps, each picture is approximately 52mm wide x 55mm high. Badges 1, 2, 5 and 8 are on EW Lugs; Badges 3, 4 and 7 are on sliders; badge 6 is on bendy tabs. All have nice age/patina to them... Badge 5 is a City of London Collar but I can find no reference to the motto "Thorough". Badge 8 is the Arms of Ilford. Ilford had at least three VTC units, but I can find no records of how they were badged. Thanks in anticipation, Tim |

2. City of Birmingham.
3. Norfolk Joint Police. Should be chrome with two loops, an epaulette badge. 4. London County Council. Should be enamelled with either loops or a slider. They all look like unfinished factory rejects which have had loops & sliders added later. Dave. |

Thanks, Dave.
Appreciate the identification. Not sure they're factory rejects. though; the Birmingham badge has very poor definition, and not a great finish, but the rest are all good clean strikes. Thanks again, Tim |

The first shield is the Southall borough council arms, granted in 1936.
