The reverse has two inscription panels with serial number "34" below. The Badge is 65.74 mm not including the suspension with an identical design, except instead of having two inscription panels there is only one and what appears to be a makers mark.

A handsome set with minor encrustation on both pieces lending to originality, the central medallion of the Badge does have natural cracks throughout mentioned for accuracy. The reverses of both appear to have been cleaned and are bright displaying wispy hairlines. A well matched set with minor cracking in portions of the enamel.
