ASC Army Service Corps Silver Medal?
Asking for your help with what this item is please.
It is an ASC item in Sterling Silver -I thought it was a pin badge without its fixings at first, but actually there is a tiny ring the top. The ring is so small I'm not sure what would go through it? Any help welcomed, and thank you in advance. |

Looks to me like there has been a pin removed from left & right, so probably a sweetheart brooch that has been converted to a watch fob ornament.
Cheers, Alex |

It is about 1.5 inches tall - right size for a badge, but back is totally smooth so hard to imagine that a pin & a fixing have been removed?

Also should mention that the loop at the top is not a later modification. Just seems too small a hole for a fob?

You can see the word Stirling, and where the brooch fitting was, if it’s a sweetheart. Some one has drilled a hole in the cross of the ord, probably after the brooch fitting broke. So broken Stirling silver sweetheart badge would be my guess.

I've got a very small British Legion 'dangler'/pendant badge that was manufactured with a small loop on top to put a ring for pin or chain.

I may be miles out - but has it just been 'tacked' to something. I guess we have all seen some badges defaced this way and may explain why reverse fittings removed to lay flat on a shield, board, picture frame, or some such display..

Thanks for the helpful replies - on looking closely, the hole at the top looks like it has been punched through rather crudely. I think you are correct that this is in fact a vandalised sweetheart badge...
