Title VR lapel pin in pinchbeck
Nationality British
Period c 1885+
Price £25.00

This could be a commemorative piece for any of the late Victorian Jubilee celebrations. Alternatively, it is just possibly an ordinary patriotic piece with no particular date. Her long reign spanned from 1837-1901, but my guess is that this was definitely made towards the latter end of it.

The height of the piece is just under 2.5cm. It is a die-struck item and the pin would appear to be fixed with silver solder. Generally, its condition is pretty good for its age. It may have had an electro-gilt finish, which is more visible on the reverse than on the front.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.
