This is 38mm across, marked on reverse Sterling Silver, WO Lewis, Howard St, Birmm. When would it have been worn? Does it have any value?
Thanks
Mike

Hello Mike,

Cannot place a value on this particular example, but the standard g/m versions go from anywhere between £30 to £60 (ish) depending on whether you acquire one from a dealer or somewhere like eBay.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Peter.

Graham,

Thanks for posting that. A cracking little photo.

Apologies for not making previous point very well, but the badge I was referring to is the brass version of the one Mike has posted (his being a silver example):

Without wishing to hi-jack Mike's thread, perhaps you could clarify exactly which unit this lapel badge shown above is to. I have always been under the impression that it was to the City of London Volunteer Corps...

...as opposed to the City of London National Guard Volunteers (affectionately referred to as 'The Methuseliers')...

Must admit I haven't enough information on London and it's Corps, but wouldn't be at all surprised if they're one and the same, with the City of London Volunteer Corps, eventually becoming part of the City of London National Guard, as portrayed in the photo. I believe they also produced a "History of the C.L.N.G.", but I haven't got a copy.

Gentlemen,
Is the City of London volunteer corps capbadge as shown by Peter above, the 2nd picture of the bronzed badge, scarce and valuable?
Many thanks
Jon
