Richard Auld 519 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Guys, in the same lot as the water damaged stuff! Thankfully in good order and not from the water! Quite pleased with this as it is a first for me! Best Rich Edited December 2, 2020 by Richard Auld Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Auld 519 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 updated the pictures, from what I can gather online it is the flat type, little chip to the enamel but not that bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Davejb 1,793 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Is this a sweetheart brooch worn by mothers, instead of on the cloth neck link? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Auld 519 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Yes Gwar, They have a good sticky on them on WAF with period newspaper advertisement for this type. It does state only the normal size and the conventional miniature were the only type authorized for ware. The flat version does not look as good and the quality is probably not as tightly controlled as the pieces for issue. I think it is ok though. There seems to be quiet a lot of variation on these as highlighted on the WAF thread. Edited December 5, 2020 by Richard Auld 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to WAF they are a commercial effort not officially sanctioned so an alternative to the neck ribbon? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
