British Northumberland Fusiliers Brigade Staybright Collars Insignia Pair

The British Northumberland Fusiliers Brigade Staybright Collars Insignia Pair is a set of military badges historically worn by members of the Northumberland Fusiliers. Crafted in Staybright, an anodised aluminium material introduced in the mid-20th century, these insignia are known for their durability and polished finish. Each collar insignia features the regiment’s emblem, typically displaying the flaming grenade, a symbol associated with the fusilier tradition. Designed for attachment to the uniform collar, these badges served both as identification and as a mark of regimental pride. The Staybright version replaced earlier brass variations, offering easier maintenance and resistance to tarnishing. The insignia pair is representative of British Army uniform evolution during the post-World War II era, when anodised aluminum badges became standard issue. These items are of interest to collectors and historians focusing on British military regalia, insignia design, and the heritage of the Northumberland Fusiliers.
