Brass New Zealand Artillery Tie Pin

Arguably the smallest piece in our collection relating to the Artillery Regiment is this brass tie pin

This beautiful brass tie pin features a miniature Artillery cap badge. It bears the Tudor Crown therefore dating it circa 1947-1952, from when the Artillery Regiment was formed in 1947 to the death of King George VI when the crown was replaced with Queen Elizabeth II’s St Edward’s Crown.

It really is a beautiful piece that was no doubt cherished by the wearer. We are just as proud to have this miniature artillery piece in our collection as we are to have the largest by size, the QF 3.7″ AA Gun. Although one definitely takes up more space than the other!
