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.

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
