BADGE
Unique ID: NLM-17C5B7
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Copper alloy badge. Cast heater shield shaped plate with engrailed upper edge. A device on the display face includes two bends; other detail appears including intermittent fine diagonal hatching but this does not form a coherent pattern, and may indeed be the mineral preserved imprint of a fine fabric. The back bears a pair of tiny addorsed triangular flaps now pressed against the back of the badge, but possibly related to its fixing. Suggested date: Late Post-Medieval, 1800-1900.
Length: 21mm, Width: 14.5mm, Thickness (clear of flaps): 1.5mm, Weight: 1.80gms.
