Boulogne and Brugges Bayonet Pin Badges

These are two decorative pin badges, each shaped like a bayonet and featuring mother of pearl handles. One badge is marked “Boulogne” and the other “Brugges”, indicating they are likely souvenirs from these respective cities. The badges exhibit a detailed enamel finish, with the bayonet blades and handles rendered in contrasting colours. These badges would have been popular mementos for soldiers or travellers visiting these locations.

Condition and Collectibility

The badges show signs of age and wear, consistent with their vintage nature. The mother of pearl handles display some surface scratches and minor discolouration, while the enamel on the blades may exhibit minor chips or imperfections. Despite these minor flaws, the badges remain visually appealing and retain their original character. They would be of interest to collectors of military memorabilia, travel souvenirs, or vintage enamel badges.
