Northumberland Fusiliers AA

[Snowdrop 68]

Hi Guys,
I saw a Northumberland Fusiliers anodised badge today at the local market, it looked like the RRF shape (see picture), is this a recognised pattern for this badge or a fake?
Thanks
Bill

The Thing is it is really a Royal Regiment Of Fusiliers Capbadge. It hasn't changed less two little hooks at the back since it was the Fusilier Brigade Badge in 1958. So worn by NF's until disbandment / amalgamation in 1969, but not technically a NF badge.

It looks fine from the front. If it has Lugs and a little loop for the hackle at the back it's fine.

An anodised version of the Northumberland Fusiliers does exist (I have one). Whether they were made for the collectors' market is a possibility.

Hi,
I have the normal shaped NF cap badge in AA but this one was £10 and just looked like a RRF badge to me so didn't buy it.
Thanks again guys

From speaking to a member of the NF many years ago who served before, through the brigade system and after. I don't belive that the AA badge was worn in the regiment.

Thanks Matti, glad I didn't get it now.

Hello - There is no authorised pattern for an a/a cap badge to the RNF. OWH
