Manchester Regt sweethearts
Picked up these two today in a antiques centre after drawing a blank at Nantwich fair.
A nice 2 piece bronzed and enamel badge and an interesting 7th Bn cast example which may have had other fixings prior to hook and pin. Paul

Paul,
People have speculated over the years that the enamelled badge was worn by various serving soldiers such as, Sergeants and also at the 1919 Victory parade. i have never seen any evidence of such and believe they are sweetheart badges. they come in a gilt finish, silver finish and brass finish, all with enamels and all with horizontal pins. regards
