Did this go cheap? or was it a steal? also how often do they appear? as 1st I have ever seen! and I guess the million dollar question is what ought to be a good price? cheers billy

Billy,
I am not qualified to comment on the price as it is above my budget, but it is a lovely item.

Don't have mine handy but it looks like (at least from the design...) it might be the centre of a waistbelt or at least is based on the design. I'm just not sure those devices were even hallmarked though. Nice badge.

I'm impressed by the great detail in the description. It raises the bar for subsequent sellers.

Default Inniskilling sweetheart
Hi

The attachment shows a similar badge in my collection.

It has the same overall design but mine has a gilt surrounding wreath.

I assume these badges are early sweethearts made after the Boer War.

They are quite scarce items and £75 is a very good price for the buyer!

Regards

Bob.
