Berkshire Imperial Yeomanry Sweetheart Badge

[RJS]

An unusual badge I picked up recently, at first I was put off by no makers mark on the back but its a really decent quality on the front, the seller stated WW1 period.

Cheers Rob.

Imperial Yeomanry or Yeomanry?
I've no knowledge re. sweethearts though I have a few, the basic design of this one is a not uncommon one, I have two of that type, a Royal Fusiliers and a Finsbury Rifles. neither with manufacturers markings.
I'd guessed that they were probably c1900 or cWWI, I had'nt thought about the Finsbury Rifles badge not being around yet c1900.

Hi Rob,

i have seen quite a few of these sweetheart badges of this design with the white enamellled background.

I just have this RFA example and it is unmarked also.

Cheers,Martin.
