Nightingale School of Nursing St Thomas's Hospital,Silver Nurses Badge(Margaret)
A slightly different silver and enamel nurses badge from the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing of St Thomas' Hospital.This one is a bit of a puzzle in that it is a much darker blue to the enamel than usual.It may have had this fully replaced but otherwise the badge itself is completely genuine.It is also unusually named to just Margaret rather than the normal name and date. I have contacted the hospital museum with no success but this may have been a presentation award?
For more information on the history of the design see;http://thenightingalefellowship.org.uk/the-nightingale-badge/
The enamel on this badge is in excellent original condition with no chips cracks or flaws
The pin, and clasp are good It is engraved to the rear Nightingale School Margaret St Thomas Hospital
It is also marked as silver.
Demand for these remains high and I'm afraid the price reflects this demand and my purchase cost.
Please do email me with any further questions or if require further pictures,Thank you
