The Border Regiment Pin Badge

[Dmet]

Another one from the paper bag of badges, It is obviously a lapel badge but I can't find one like it anywhere. No makers mark on the back. Any idea of date please?





Thanks,

Hello Dave

It is almost certainly a civilian sweetheart badge, more than likely from the First World War era when they were most popular.

However, sweetheart badges like this were in vogue from the Boer War until , more or less, the present time so unless someone can date the badge from some specific detail on it, getting an accurate date might be a little difficult.

Very nice badge all the same!

I can only go by the fact is was in a bag with the Sasktoon badge, an Australian Commonwealth Military Forces, and a few other WWI era badges so could well be WWI or later.

Thanks,

The lack of the South African battle honours suggests it is pre-1905.
