Scarce WWI South African General Service EM Hat Badge in Cast Copper

This is a scarce World War I South African General Service enlisted man hat badge. The badge shows a springbok at center and reads UNION IS STRENGTH, and its Dutch translation: Eendracht maakt macht. The badge was locally made in South Africa from cast copper.

Circa WWI.

Approximately 1-5/16" in diameter.

Cast copper.

Two loops for cotter pin.

None.

This is from a WWI Great Britain and Commonwealth badge collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MAHX14 LFEX7/14 SEJX3/15

7 (Very Fine): The badge has some light wear and tarnish and some very small spots of oxidation.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
