Product description
Lot: a matched pair of Rhodesian lion crest cap badges with gilt finish and two fixed pin posts. These eye-catching small crests show good relief detail on the lion motif and banner, making them a strong visual pick for militaria collectors or period uniform display. The finish has visible wear but the shapes and sculpted detail remain clear in the supplied photos.
Practical uses: ideal for a militaria or Rhodesiana collection, period uniform restoration, display in a shadowbox, or as a pair for costume and reenactment projects. Collectors who value correct motif and matched pairs will appreciate the intact pins and cohesive appearance despite surface wear.

- Condition: used — fair. Gilt finish with surface scratches, plating wear and areas of tarnish/discolouration visible on the posts; overall sculpted detail remains readable.
- Fastenings: uploader reports both posts intact with clutch backs; posts visible in photos and show some discolouration (metal content unknown).
- Measurements: not provided (please refer to photos for scale).
- Working status: N/A (non-powered wearable items).
- Known faults: plating/gilt wear, surface scratches, tarnish/discolouration on posts and slight bending/deformation of one or both posts in photos. No hallmarks or maker stamps recorded in supplied information.
