The smaller badge shows Winston Churchill in his familiar hat and overcoat, a classic image of the wartime Prime Minister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are of typical period construction: a printed photographic image under a celluloid face, rolled into a metal back ring, with a long straight pin passing through the rim to fasten to the lapel. The reverses show the original tinplate backing discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is honest and consistent with age. The celluloid faces show light surface scratching, and the King badge has a small mark to the upper rim. The reverses show oxidation spotting to the backing discs, heavier on the Churchill badge.
