Cast silver square section ring (1.75-2.1mm square) with fastening gear behind comprising a hinge for the pin (lost) and a wire loop opposite, with a pressed copper alloy concavo-convex badge fitted tightly into the ring.

The object is a 'sweetheart' brooch incorporating part of a regimental crest. Suggested date: Modern, 1910-1945.Diameter: 27.6mm, Thickness (overall clear of fastening gear): 5mm, Weight: 6.10gms.
