Nunquam Non Paratus, Early Professional Nursing/Midwifery Badge

A Bronze pendant badge which I believe was an early Privately purchased generic Nursing/Midwifery badge.These appear to have been bought by Nurses across a range of Hospitals which did not issue their own badges.Many were then engraved with the either the initials of the nurse or details of the training hospital,as in this case.They have been identified with date ranges from circa 1905 to the 1920s.They are found in two sizes and three variants, this is the smaller of those.
The shield shaped badge bears an image of Florence Nightingale with her lamp and a feeding cup.The motto Nunquam Non Paratus-Never Unprepared.This is suspended from a bronze pin back bar with EEG engraved on it.The rear is unengraved but has a makers mark for G Kenning & Son London Height 62mm
