A couple of interesting Trade Badges
Recently acquired among a job lot:
Crossed hammer and pincers - appears to be hand cut from sheet brass - possibly a piece made by the soldier training as a metal smith, armourer etc.
Farrier's horseshoe - normal brass horseshoe but has a carefully made leather insert to replicate the inside of the horse's hoof.
