Ps, if you want to email me the picture I will post it on a site where some body may know... sarah

The Charge Nurse badge isn't from the London, I've been reliably informed from the archivist.  Does anyone have any other ideas as to where it came from, as I said I also have a Staff Nurse one too.  The green background is display purpose only & not a uniform.

Without more clues I think it may be practically impossible to identify which L...Hospital this is from? Do you have a makers mark to at least id an approximate date range,even then the number of possible variation of L Hospitals which it might be checked in the Hospitals Year Book are many. I might assume it to be one of the larger hospitals to justify ordering sufficient badges from a manufacturer to be viable? Unless someone who wore these recognises them the best you might get is an educated guess.Your best hope is that a full set of Id'd badges finding one of these comes up for sale in future.If I can reproduce it I will try Flickr to see if anyone can help?
What this does demonstrate is the difficulty in getting an accurate attribution to such Monogram type badges,good luck!

I'm in Mallorca at the moment so will have a look at makers mark on my return.

Named LH minus pin gone on ebay tonight, wonder what price it will fetch after the recent flood!

Re the charge nurse badge above, it was made by Fattorini.  I have tried to photograph the badge but is proving difficult due to it being bright silver metal!

Mike - send me the photograph if you want me to try to correct a problem picture.

Use email - webmaster@schoolsofnursing.co.uk

Will.

I think I've managed to send you the picture.

I wonder what this one will command?  Check it out on the auction site.

The same seller also has a UCH figurine listed but not the St Thomas'.

I see Peter bought & sold the most recent large LH badge, well done & I do hope one of our collectors bought it.
The 2 examples recently posted on the galleries, is one of them the one Peter?
