Short form of sterling silver - "STG SILV". Beyond that its hard to make out the other letters/symbols.

Hi,

The hallmark on the shoulder title is most probably: Egyptian.

Regards,

Zob.

G'day bc

Thanks for posting these little gems.

Could we have photos of the fronts as well please. Is this a collar size or a hat size ?

I have 2 silver pin backed nurses collar sized badges, one is hallmarked B'ham 1916 and the other is just marked Stg Sil with no nakers mark. I assume its Aussie made. Sorry I dont have them at the momemt they are on display at a museum.

Yours could well be theatre made and we did have nurses in Egypt.

Regards

Phil.
