Glasgow Fire Service post ww2 & N.F.S ( National Fire Service 1941 to 1947 ) was formed in 1948 after the N.F.S handed back fire control to regional county & county borough fire brigades. Glasgow City had 15 fire stations covering 62 square miles of the Glasgow area & had 2 variations of cap badge in force, a dark red enamel & a light red enamel ! 
This cap badge is the dark red variation & is in superb original condition, the badge looks as if it has not been on a cap as the lugs are perfect, the enamel centre fixed to the standard economy issue,  lined Home Office star with a thin brass pin. 
A superb condition original Glasgow Fire Service 1948 to 1975 cap badge
