Default Sweetheart Badge I Think
I would like to show these two badges (brooch) and would love to know what exactly they are. Also why can I not find any other like these two over the net
are they a one off. Do you think they might be cataloged in any books.

I would really like some information ...Please

Kind Regards
Denise

Welcome to the Forum Denise.
The badges you have imaged are sweetheart pins for the general list CEF and the Canadian Forestry Battalion. Both are First WW badges. There is no catalogue or price guide for these. Note that your general list badge is sterling and has British hallmarks, with which you should be able to date and locate the maker. They are not likely one offs. Sweetheart pins were produced in quantity, but with now a century since the First WW they are not commonly found.
