Another really nice 100% original condition, almost un-issued smaller county borough fire service badge on offer from the 1948 to 1974 era. Exceptionally nice gilt patina on the coat of arms & unworn look, lugs & pins complete & intact, condition of this lovely badge is extra fine. This believe it or not is the commoner variety of an already rare badge…there is a virtually unseen version which does exist that has a red scroll!
Newport County Borough Fire Brigade post world war 2 had just 2 fire stations covering 12 square miles of the Newport borough area & merged into Gwent Fire Service in 1974 !
