Field Marshal's Rank Badge
Hello,
I've seen what I think is a field marshal's rank badge for sale (it's not labelled). It's a one-piece construction made out of gilded brass. It's quite small - about 30mm accross. fixing is by two copper lugs and a split pin. The badge consists of crossed batons enclosed by a wreath which looks like a mixture of laurel and oak leaves, summounted by a king's crown. Could it be anything else? Given the size, I'd guess it is for mess dress? What would be the going price for one?
Grateful for views.
Jon
