Royal Welch Fusiliers (RWF) gilt and enamel tie pin sweetheart brooch, featuring the distinctive regimental insignia of the historic Welsh infantry regiment. Combining gilt-coloured metal with coloured enamel detailing, this compact piece of regimental jewellery represents the Royal Welch Fusiliers and is typical of the personal military-associated jewellery collected as sweetheart and service-related memorabilia.
Sweetheart jewellery was produced for servicemen and their families, with regimental badges and insignia incorporated into brooches, pins and other items for personal wear. Such pieces are particularly associated with the First and Second World War periods, although regimental sweetheart jewellery continued to be produced beyond these conflicts. The Royal Welch Fusiliers have a long history dating from 1689 and became part of the Royal Regiment of Wales in 2006.
This example is suitable for collectors of Royal Welch Fusiliers insignia, Welsh regimental militaria, British Army sweetheart jewellery, enamel military badges and regimental jewellery. Its tie pin format makes it an interesting addition to collections of personal military memorabilia.
Dimensions
Approx. 38mm x 25mm.
