It's hallmarked and maker marked, but they are too small to read without a magnifying glass. I will shoot some photos and post them.

The RS is the maker mark. Somewhere I have bookmarked a website with silversmiths marks..

PPCLI Sweetheart Gilt Version
Here is a slightly different version of the PPCLI sweetheart. The silver has been gilded but the badge is otherwise similar to ddaydodger's. In both cases the makers mark is R.C. for Robert Chandler, a Birmingham jeweller. Mine is hallmarked "r" for 1916.
Cheers, Ian. |

Has anyone had any luck in repairing broken enamel |

I have had some sweethearts repaired with what was called cold enamel by a badge repairer in UK. Made a very nice job of it and from memory it was not difficult.
