Gentlemen

first one = No
second one = yes (nice unvoided, 1920/30s) third one = yes (LB&BCo made, post 1980) |

Thank you Griff!
Here’s a few for you to look at :)) 1 and 2 look very similar except for the L Kind regards Chay |
Do please let me know if you decide to move on one of your two the solid scroll mottos. I forgot to bid on one a few days ago on eBay, ho-hum.

Hello Chay
Yes I like all of them..... especially the motto with the chain safety loop in the top and the pin and clasp. For me.... it puts this type into the early 1900s. I have a DHIY (Officers cast gilt washed) with similar fittings. |
Hi Griff
I’m glad you like it ! I was wanting to share this so you can see! I am not a specialist collector like yourself in this field I just collect whatever comes my way :)) Kind regards Chay |

Surely this is just an O/Rs conversion to a sweetheart brooch, it is clear where the slider has been removed. Cheers, Alex |
I am not an expert or even slightly knowledgeable about these badges and despite all the amazing pointers Griff and others have put on the forum to identify not only fakes, but also different makers and periods of wear, I still would rarely try to say yay or nay on authenticity of Mottos. I am however a little surprised that the first badge of the second set of photos is considered original. The massive die-flaw diagonally across the forehead would have put me off straight away.
Cheers, Alex |

I think from the photographs the reverse looks quite crude.

....on the DHIY Frank?

Hello Griff,
Yes, but, really nice obverse, were they always like that? Regards Frank Quote:

Hi Frank
Its an Egyptian sand cast i think, made when they were posted there in 1916. Its a copy of one of the senior officers Jennens & Co badges.... either for himself .... or for his wife. I found it in an antiques shop in the USA of all places. :) |
Oh I see, that would explain it then, it just appeared so crude on the reverse, but, the front is very nice, I think if it was intended as a sweetheart brooch, any wife would be certainly delighted to receive it and I would think to wear it too.
