    This badge believed to be From some kind of Royal Navy or Dockyard, UK, support unit mid to late 1800's. Any idea what the symbol NSFU means?

      May be National Seamen's & Firemen's Union c. early 20th century.

      Excuse me, I meant to type National Sailors' & Firemen's Union.

      Thank you beyemvey. I got similar links referring to NSFU, however, I doubt if it has anything to do with the seamans or sailors firemen's Union. The badge is associated with the British Royal Navy.
