The National Fire Service was formed in 1941 amalgamating the A.F.S ( Auxiliary Fire Service ) & approx. 1,600 borough & county borough fire brigades into one complete national firefighting force.

During the 6 years the badge was officially worn there were a few different types & styles of badge manufactured by various factories & these can be collectable in themselves as manufacturers marks & styles / colours of the badge varied.

These 2 non maker marked badges are both sadly chipped reflecting the price at £3 each.
