WELCOME !
Today I am selling an original metal BADGE from Napoleonic Wars era. It is made of brass or bronze. There were 2 metal fixing lugs on the reverse side to fix it to the cartridge case but one was broken and lost. It is battlefield relic – metal detecting find. SIZE: 80mm x 36mm. Weight: 35.3g. I did not find any maker marks on the reverse side. It is in good used condition but please remember – it was in the ground over 200 years! I think it was fixed to the French soldier’s ammunition pouch. The badge depicts a Flaming Grenade. There is still one original fixing lugs for attachement. The condition and all details you will find in the pictures. 100% genuine item from early 19th Century.
I AM SELLING MORE COLLECTABLE MILITARY MEMORABILIA FROM THE NAPOLEONIC ERA.
In the excellent book titled: “WATERLOO RELICS” by Gilles Bernard and Gerard Lachaux, Histoire & Collections 2005, a very similar BADGES found on the battlefield of Waterloo can be seen. See page 121.
THE ONLY METHOD OF PAYMENT IS PAYPAL. I WILL SEND THE ITEM WITHIN 7 DAYS AFTER PAYMENT RECEIVED.
Would look great in any Militaria Collection. 100% genuine !!!
