WW1 Sweetheart Badge ?
Not sure if that is what this is - or the regiment - were all Sweetheart badges made with enamel fronts?
Thanks for any help! Last edited by roseoftheshires; 01-06-20 at 07:01 PM. Reason: extra picture |

Hi,
Sweethearts come with or without enamel. Im no expert on ladies fashion but I seem to think that as a general rule early in the 20th century, things for ladies to wear came with pins, the horseshoe lapel fitting suggests intended for a man to wear ie. female ARP in WW2 came with a pin, those for men with lapel fitting. As to what it is, sorry no idea Gary |

I agree - the 'horseshoe' fitting is meant to go into the button hole on a suit lapel. Although why we have that buttonhole is a different mystery, since the matching button has been gone for at least a century.
Maybe an Old Comrades badge indicating previous service with The Welsh Guards [???] |

Hi Phil,
Never knew that, learn something new every day - just the first example I could think of with the pin and horseshoe on the same design Gary |
