Favourite sweethearts brooch
Members who are also members of the GWF will not doubt have seen the thread "Handsomest British Great War Badge " and surprise, surprise the choices are to the regiments that members have a particular interest in.
As things seem a bit slow on here at the moment, I wonder if there would be interest in a "Favourite Sweethearts Brooch " thread. It will probably come as no surprise that my favourite is a solid gold Kings Liverpool sweethearts but even better it cost me very little some time ago on our favourite auction site. It would be interesting to see what the choices are of other members. P.B.

I first saw this for sale at nearly £400 some years ago.... it then came up for sale on eBay and got it for the price of an ORs badge

Army Apprentices School. Could do with good clean, and there is one stone missing, but I like it.

Very nice Phil.
Loving the handsomest cap badge thread on GWF, was it me that called a lot of the Scottish badges clunky and samey? whoops! Anyway, I've only got a few because if I start with sweethearts it will be yet another distraction from badges, grenades, caps, helmets, hackles, tanks... But these are my 2 favourites, first is the Garrard & Co Para Regt brooch, then not really a sweetheart, my MGC veterans pin by Thomas Mott |

It's amazing what one finds hiding away in drawer boxes.
A few more. GTB |

Sweetheart Pins
What a wonderful idea, I have really enjoyed viewing the examples that have been posted, some every attractive pins shown!
As I have not seen any Naval examples, I will post a few of mine. The first example is not really a sweetheart pin, rather more of a brooch, & its a nice one, of 1WW vintage. His ship was Queen Mary, presumably the Queen Mary lost at Jutland on 31 May 1916. Unfortunately I have no idea of whom this sailor is. RCN Bryan Last edited by RCN; 01-01-16 at 07:28 PM. |

Favourite Sweethearts
Hi
Attached are my two favourite sweethearts. A Victorian 6th Inniskilling probably Boer War period and an 86th Foot Royal County Down. The 86th were amalgamated with the 83rd Foot County of Dublin in 1881 to form the Royal Irish Rifles. Both sweethearts are Hallmarked silver. Hope you like them. Happy New Year to all Forum members. Bob. |
