Title Welsh harpist's badge, unmarked silver
Nationality British
Period c 1720
Price £600.00

This interesting badge is a lost wax casting which has had the strings of the harp and the Welsh motto engraved. There are residual traces of original gilt finish here and there. The style of construction would suggest some royal appointment, as the use of the royal crown was fairly carefully guarded at this period.

Beyond that, I would be delighted if anyone has any ideas as to what this really is.

It is just under 6cm high and the condition for the age of the piece is pretty good.

Hallo Chris, its coming [it came] today, it's very good, thank you.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
