WW1 Durham City Special Constable Constabulary Police Enamel Gilt Mufti Lapel Buttonhole Badge

A rare badge from this very small force. Not to be confused with the frequently encountered Durham County specials badge from the same era. Some surface scratches to the enamel but otherwise intact. Original horseshoe fixing and maker marked Thomas Fattorini, Bolton.Fig 1 page 38 of Wilkinson & Cowdell 'Special Constabulary Insignia of England & Wales (2nd Edn)'.Comm JoPa
