Default Coldstream Guards WO cap star
Hi All
I recently found this CG WO cap star. It appears silver or silvered with a red enamel backing to the cross, but without the voiding on the motto. Is this a variation or a sweetheart brooch or just something else? It is the same size as a standard cap star.
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

I reckon that badge has been altered. IMHO.

In what way?
Other than perhaps having the lugs replaced by a brooch pin it looks all original to me.

I reckon it's been done by hand rather than die, those rear 3 tabs don't look uniform to me ?

Hi Andy
Ok, I understand what you meant now . The badge has a raised ring which locates the enamel disc. The ring looks original to the badge but the tabs do look hand cut to fold over. It is a well made piece.
Cheers,
Alex
