Description: This circular gilt-brass lapel insignia features a prominent white heater-style shield containing a bold red Greek cross right at its center. The shield rests against a brilliant gold background featuring fine radiating sunburst ridges that capture light. Encirclement detailing includes a deep blue enamel outer ring bearing the cleanly stamped uppercase inscription "THE BRITISH RED CROSS SOC.", which is beautifully bridged at the bottom by a gold ribbon banner displaying the word "ASSOCIATE". The flat reverse side of the 20mm round frame carries a crisp, stamped manufacturer backmark but is currently missing its original horizontal fastening pin component.
Reverse: Plain gilt back with maker’s mark “J.R. GAUNT LONDON” and pin-fitting attachments
