Further details:

Copy of an early 15th C french badge in the Cluny museum, worn by the Dauphin/Armangac faction.

This badge has a pewter pin back, which is the period way for these badges to be fastened. As a result, the pin can be delicate, so please be gentle when putting the badge on. If the badge is going to remain in the same place, a few stitches to hold it in place is a good idea.
