One of the 3 rare City of Coventry Fire Brigade cap badges from the post war 1948 to 1974 period. Coventry was one of the handful of small county borough fire brigades that boasted 3 different patterns of cap badge worn between the same period.

All 3 Coventry cap badges of this era are hard to obtain as the brigade itself was not a large fire brigade, 3 stations covering 30 square miles. The cap fixing lugs are intact but have been pinched together as the badge was loosely mounted on a board when we obtained it. This is the very 1st pattern cap badge issued to The City Of Coventry Fire Brigade & was issued just for 4 years from 1948 to 1952. The 2nd pattern cap badge was the enamel variation of this badge issued from 1952 to 1966 & finally the rarest enamel coat of arms 3rd pattern was issued from 1966 to 1974. All original City Of Coventry Fire Brigade cap badges are hard to obtain for collectors of the post war fire service cap badges & this badge is 100% guaranteed original !
