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. Enamel undamaged but there is a small bleed of white enamel into base of red cross during firing. Original horseshoe fixing and maker marked Thomas Fattorini, Bolton.
