Very interesting pin. I wonder if perhaps a tommy may have aqcuired it in the Anglo Boer War and perhaps tried to legalise it back home by taking it to an assay office?
Thanks for the info on what I was told is a collar..... Then again if not a collar what and where was it worn......

I think that the expense of having it hallmarked for the average Tommy would have been excessive......
