Title General Service cap badge
Nationality British
Period 1914-18
Price £5.00

This badge would have been issued to soldiers who had not been allocated to a specific unit. The device is the full Royal Arms of George V. An officer would have worn something similar in bronze (this was worn by other ranks).

This die-struck badge measures just 4cm across in gilding metal. It is a crisp if slightly distorted example, with traces of pink polishing compound throughout.

...acquiring this bayonet has completely changed my way of thinking on collecting bayonets. I have become extremely fond of the bayonet... Thanking you once again for the very professional way in which you handled the money [going to the wrong account] problem.
