This type of know signifies Staffordshire. If you do a search (Search/Advanced its in the green bar next to New Posts) for this name or 'Staffs', there are a few posts which may include this badge.

It appears to be a "Shako-Badge"..... c1860. K&K show the same pattern for Volunteer Rifle Corps
Yorkshire = "36" in the centre Robin Hood = "RHR" in the centre Northamptonshire = 1NRV in the centre so this is possbly a Staffordshire?

I am 99% sure that this badge was illustrated in an old article on badges of the Staffords in the MHS Bulletin many years ago. ( I think the article was called the" Staffords and the Stafford Knot"or something similar )
I have had a search but cannot find it immediately, I will continue searching and will post the result if and when I find the article. P.B.

The article I was thinking about was in the Bulletin of May1971 and the badge is not illustrated, neither is it in the "The Staffords 1881-1978" by Rosignoli and Whitehouse.
I think Peter 616 is right. P.B. ( Does anyone have copies of Dave Coopers books, I am sure it will be in them )

Nice to see that as the badge is for sale Frank is offering a money back guarantee.
Can I please just make it clear that when I said " this badge was illustated in an old article on badges...." what I was in fact saying was" an example of this design of badge" was illustrated....... I was not passing an opinion on the authenticity of this example of the badge. P.B.
