Title Royal Engineers cap badge
Nationality British
Period c 1938-52
Price £5.00

This George VI badge replaced an earlier example for George V's reign and is in die-struck gilding metal with a copper slider. It would in turn have been replaced by an ERII example in 1953 on the accession of his daughter Elizabeth.

The condition is crisp, with a little polish to the highlights.

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
