I think you really aught to get that ring off your middle finger soon.

I think that is a fancy brooch with no military significance.

I agree on the brooch. Civilian late 19th century.

Nice find. Also agree with brooch. Note the pair of attachment points for a pin on the reverse.

For which one... The button or the brooch?

The buttons and I don't think it is a broach. I Think it is a saddle badge. I say that based on 1890's saddle badges I have found in the past near old Stage Coach routes. Cool finds regardless!

If I remember Correctly , I was told Woman's Sash decoration Most likely 19th Century

On most horse tack there is not a pin type holder.

HI ixKNIVESxi
With Valentines Day coming up this first one may be more than appropriate!

I believe your fist find to be a British or Canadian WW1 or 2... Sweetheart Badge or Brooch.

Sweetheart brooches are, basically, small brooches depicting the regimental or other service crest of a soldier, sailor or airman and were worn by military wives or girlfriends


Not the actual find but similar idea, as there are no frontal view with engravings and there are thousands of badges.

I don’t see any suggestion that the first item is a badge rather than a button (probably for a greatcoat). The Royal Crest upon a scroll bearing the motto 'FIDE ET FIDUCIA' (In faith and trust) is for the British Royal Army Pay Corps. The corps was formed in April 1920 following the amalgamation of the Army Accounts Department and the Army Pay Corps and the posted button has the crown type that was used up until 1953.
