Full Description

This is an original National Fire Service Cap Badge issued in Britain during World War Two.

Wartime Home Front Service

In August 1941, Britain nationalised over 1,600 local fire brigades into the National Fire Service to coordinate Blitz emergency responses. Personnel across the country wore this standard pattern cap badge throughout the Second World War until 1948, replacing earlier regional designs.

Stamped Metal Details

Each badge is pressed from die-cast white metal featuring an eight-pointed star topped by the King's Crown. The centre has bright red enamel NFS lettering over a textured pebbled field, giving high visual contrast on wool peaked caps and berets.

Authentic Lug Attachment

The reverse includes two copper attachment lugs and a removable steel split pin. This traditional fitting slides cleanly through cap fabric, holding the badge flat and secure during movement. Most examples remain in Grade 1 condition with light age patina.

Add this genuine British home front badge to your wartime collection or cap display.
