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.
