Title Warrant Officer sleeve badge
Nationality British
Period c 1940
Price £5.00

This die-struck, gilding metal badge was normally worn on the left sleeve of a WO. However, in the tropics or in shirtsleeve order, the badge was often simply worn on a leather wrist strap.

The badge came to me with blue cloth pinned behind it, so I have left it like that. It measures about 4 cm across and has considerable wear to the front.

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
