Jani Tiainen Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Hello friends, Does anybody have any additional information on this badge: It is gold with real diamonds. Unfortunately I am waiting it to arrive by mail, so I can not tell what are the hallmarks. With best regards, Jani
Trooper_D Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Jani This looks to me to be a sweetheart's badge of the British 16th Lancers. A quick google suggests that the Polish 16 Lancers had a completely different badge (see below, from an eBay sale, I believe). What makes you think that it is Polish? Of course, when you see the hallmarks all will be revealed Nice badge, whatever its provenance!
paul wood Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I would agree looks like a nice quality quite early GB 16th Lancers sweetheart brooch, these were given by officers to theirr wives, girlfriends or mistresses. Paul
Jani Tiainen Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Many thanks! I got the identification from the seller - I bought because of its quality. I have no idea where the seller got the idea of it being Polish. Jani
iffig Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Because of the red/white penons which can suggest a Polish flag, I suppose .....
