City of London Bullion Badge
This is a beautiful gold bullion badge with Kings Crown.
Deeply padded and measuring 78mm x 50mm its quite large. Someone elsewhere suggested an HAC connection? Anyone any ideas please? regards

I've been after one of these Worn by the likes of the mayor etc. I forget exactly but I recognise it from my wants list.
It isn't HAC related.

Possibly something to do with a "LORD LIEUTENANT OF THE CITY OF LONDON".
Bonhams sold a c1837-1840 uniform , description includes ; "large ornate tail ornaments being the crown over a circular strap 'Domine Dirige nos' and enclosing the Arms of the City Of London, constructed of gold and silver lace red velvet and blue silk." https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/15088/lot/305/ Maybe a starting point for your search ? Bosley sold a "City of London official’s gilt epaulette badge" https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-us/a...d-a60100a7d18d. .
