Sorry for the delay. Time to put some more pictures up. My new favourite, a stunning badge with features I've not seen before. Unfortunately one of the antlers is missing, but that's what happens when you make beautiful bits of jewelry standard metalwork and give them to the soldierary to go off to war.
I particularly like the way that 6 tiny holes, 2 on one side 4 on the other, have been drilled in the wreath in order to make it look more accurate, on top of the way that some holes have already been cast into the badge. The picture of the back shows this very well against the smooth casting.
No manufactures mark or hallmark unfortunately and with copper loops. Possibly not an officer's.
More badges to follow.
