Default Another MGC Badge Enquiry

Hi,

A couple of years ago while digging out the garden in our late victorian terrace we found all sorts of early 1900's artefacts - bottles, tiles, glasswear etc.

Nestled in that layer of mud we also came across a MCP badge unlike any other I can find online.

Aside from brushing off dirt, I've made no attempt at cleaning it, and my Macro photography/lighting is terrible. But I've attached a picture in hope that someone might be able to identify it.

Its a sweetheart brooch. I type I have seen many times before, just keep your eyes on eBay and you'll find another assuming there isnt one already listed.

How fascinating, and thank you!

A quick Google provides an example of what it would have looked like

I have several of these; gilt/brass; white metal, one 'bronze'. Just don't let anyone tell you that they are MGC collar badges.
