[badgecollector]

hi all
found this today in a locak antiques shop.
like to hear your thoughts. is it a converted collar or perpously made sweethearts badge?
ive never actually had one of these badges before. lovely item.
and the only other ive seen online had a makers name where this doesnt?
anyway, thanks in advance
bc
btw i will probably be moving it on at some stage as it doesnt fit into my collecting field

Hi badgecollector, I would lean towards the converted collar. The hasp & pin design did less damage to service dress than the lugs.

thanks Bill
i gather its a fairly rare badge.
were there more than one maker as this doesnt have the makers marks.
is there a ball park of what its worth?
cheers

There were British and Cdn makers. It has been suggested that the unmarked badges were British made.
