WELCOME !
Today I am selling an original metal BADGE from Napoleonic Wars era. It is made of brass or bronze. There are 2 metal fixing lugs on the reverse side to fix it to the cartridge case. It is battlefield relic – metal detecting find. SIZE: 58.4mm x 37.8mm. Weight: 27.7g. 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. It is complete not damaged and It has 2 original fixing lugs for attachement. The condition and all details you will find in the pictures. 100% genuine item from early 19th Century.

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.
