Remains that BLANK GHE is a VERY odd contraction for Blankenberghe, BLANKBGHE would have made more sense. Are there any other bajonet brooches known with contractions or abbreviations?

Easy to imagine the makers of these trying to "get on the bandwagon" of the souvenir trade.
In much the same way the "crest china" industry turned from making "model of the anvil at Gretna Green" to (one of my favourite "useless" pieces, surely?) "model of a British Mills Bomb" or the plane that looks like a Bleriot plane but seems to have been inspired by a child's perambulator.... |
