ARGYLL & SUTHERLAND HLDRS. - 1ST RENFREW V.B.-SGTS. BADGE - NICKEL SILVER

Please do not confuse this with the 100's of fake examples in the market place , this is the Real Deal.
Ex Hugh King collection a few years ago when it 1st came on the market.
Sgt's example with fully fretted centre.
Die struck nickel silver, this will give any doubters piece of mind as no fakes were made of nickel which went out of use long before the fakes appeared in the '80's.
Also known as " German Silver " (800 silver content ), this one has it's correct yellowish ageing unique to nickel.
Correct tangs attaching the scroll which reads, " 1st Renfrew V.B.".
Bottom of the badge nicely fashioned to form a snug fit with the scroll.
Scroll seeded with nice sharp raised lettering.
Lovely fretting to the centre.
These are incredibily rare badges in the genuine form and this one is a " One Looker " from a famous old collection.
Reluctant sale from my own collection.
