hello Brian, Many thanks for sharing this collection. It is a great pity that more arm badges were not named with the issuing force, but I suppose they had more on their minds at the time! I will try and fish out a few more bits and bobs for this section which I find extremely informative. My thanks. Kind regards, Kevin

Another Tipstaff. This one comes from the parish of Idle. West Riding Constabulary came into being in 1856 and assumed policing responsibilities for Idle. When Bradford achieved city status in 1898 Idle became part of the city area and Bradford City Police assumed responsibilty for the village. I believe this Tipstaff and the Bowling example above pre-date the formation of either force. Perhaps Mervyn could comment as this is more his territory? Kevin
