Queen Alexandras Royal Naval Nursing Service ( QARNNS ) 1903 Hallmarked Silver Waist Belt Clasp ( WBC )

In fabulous condition with London hallmarks ( leopard's head ) for 1903 (letter h ), this WBC could well have been one of the very first issued items for the new uniform. Excellent condition, silver toned with minor tarnishing and with matching buckle and clasp and maker's mark J.D. on both parts. In excellent condition and scarce.

In 1884 a matron, four head sisters and six sisters were appointed to Haslar Naval Hospital. The Queen Alexandra's Royal Naval Service was formed in 1902. Queen Alexandra herself designed their uniform and badges.
