Just a quick post. Two Silver ARP badges
I bought these two together at an antiques fair. I was fortunate to get a male version (half moon button hole lapel) and a female version (Brooch pin)
Both are in alright condition with the female one certainly being cleaned in the past as the crown details have been worn away.
Markings on both as followed
Male Pin
JC- Currently unknown maker.
Lion Passant - Confirms it is Sterling silver (925) - 92.5% pure silver plus other metals.
Leopards head - London (and Goldsmiths’ Company) Assay Office hallmark
The Letter “D” which is a code letter for the Date (1939)
Female Pin

So nothing too special but these are quite nice looking pieces. Plus they were quite cheap as well!
Enjoy.
