WW1 Royal Naval Division (RND) Hawke Battalion Silver hallmarked Sweetheart Pin Brooch Badge

An extremely fine hollow silver example, highlights enhanced with gold plated highlights, the reverse bearing Chester hallmarks for 1914 (capital letter 'O') and maker's details "G&S". Very good condition. With no dents or distortion. It is better than my photos, as the gold seems to blend into the silver colour. Circa 4.7cms wide. Fabulous.
