Green Enamel and 18ct Yellow Gold Regimental Brooch - Antique Circa 1930

Description

This exceptional, fine and impressive gold military brooch has been crafted in 18ct yellow gold with a 14ct yellow gold pin.

The brooch has been modelled in the form of the regimental badge of The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers (5th)*.

The brooch depicts St. George upon a horse, killing a dragon.

A green enamelled banner to the lower border bears the Latin motto 'Quo Fata Vocant', meaning 'Whither the Fates call'.

The brooch is fitted to the original leatherette and velvet lined push fit presentation case, bearing the retailer's name 'By Appointment To H.M The King, The Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company LTD, 112. Regent St London. W'.

The brooch and presentation case are in exceptional condition, showing no signs or wear or use.

This stunning antique sweetheart brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18ct and 14ct gold.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

* The 5th Northumberland Regiment of Foot was redesignated the Northumberland Fusiliers in 1881. This title was held until 1935, when it was prefixed with the word Royal. Latterly, since 1968 the regiment has been identified as the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers
