Another great example of a near mint cap badge, this 2nd pattern light red variation with gap between the coat of arms & the title scroll. Greater Manchester County Fire Service issued this badge from 1976 until 1985 & we have both varieties on our website consisting of the different colours. The badge manufactured by London Badge & Button Company who were official suppliers to the brigade is an excellent example retaining its lovely gilt patina, the centre secured to the fully pressed home office star by means of a vertical lance cut slot with the lugs bending outwards. The 2 cap fixing lugs are fixed to the rear & an excellent condition cap badge.
