Lead alloy probable badge. Cast uniface disc bearing moulded motif deriving from a cross potent with a pellet at its centre, though with reversed or arrow-shaped ends to its horizontal arms and with a crescent in each of its angles, and with a pair of supporting struts to support what is taken to be its lower part. A broad bordering band bears markings resembling a legend of letters though this reporter is uncertain as to whether they are. A possible reading might include: IXIIII/DEVM/[--/--].

Copper alloy badge fragment. A small plate in the form of a Maltese cross with angular concave ends to its arms. A central roundel includes two crossed swords, possibly with a letter in each interval between the swords. On the back, an integrally cast lentoid-section lug has a flat, probably made, end. This was presumably inserted in a separate back plate [now lost], probably to retain a lapel badge in a buttonhole. The cross is vaguely reminiscent of that form chosen for the Victoria Cross, a medal made from captured Russian guns and introduced in the Crimean War (1853-1856). Suggeste…

Stamped metal plate depicting a straight-sided heraldic shield within a band where cables support a plaque for a basal legend reading M/S  A/S [standing for Mine Sweeping/ Anti-Submarine], surmounted by a crown with jewelled band and castellated projections made up of the mainsails and aft view of an early 19th-century warship; a historic First Rate like Victory is intended. The shield is charged with a reticulate pattern – in this case apt as it represents a steel net - in which two mines and a trapped shark speared by a marlin spike appear. Notation: RD 83775…

Copper alloy badge. A pressed sheet metal badge in the form of a heraldic shield with engrailed top edge, charged with a broad bend and a central object resembling a pumpkin. The function is indicated by  two coils of a light spring brazed to the back on one side; the corresponding catch is lost.

A Medieval lead alloy incomplete secular badge dating to the early 15th century. The badge depicts a cresset or fire beacon which was an emblem favoured by King Henry V who reigned from AD 1413-1422. The fire beacon (cresset) is depicted with flames above two bands of pellets. The lower band has rings around each small pellet. The lower part of the fire beacon is decorated with flowing ridges which taper to the base. No stand is preserved, but the long, integral pin (bent) on the reverse suggests that a stand was originally present. This badge is very similar to no.700 in Mitchi…

Lead alloy badge fragment. The central part of a plano-convex cast badge in the form of a star or sun with eight wavy tapered rays oriented as a left hand spiral, of which five are broken; abraded and lightly patinated. The ambiguity of the badge is significant, as it was adopted as the sunburst by the Yorkist Earl of March, latterly King Edward IV (1461-1470 and 1471-1483) following his victory at Mortimer's Cross (1461), while a star with streams was the badge of the resolutely Lancastrian Earl of Oxford. The two motifs were lethally confused in dense fog at the Battle of Barnet (14…
