The badge is surmounted by a suspension crown and is attached to a plain red silk ribbon. The piece appears to be constructed from gilt metal and enamel. Included is a decorative set of three miniature edged weapons, resembling rapiers or swords, housed in a specialised stand made of brass and white metal. The collection also contains several small metal figurines, including a black-painted lead or metal figure depicting a soldier in a greatcoat and helmet, possibly of the WWI or WWII era, a second similar figure, and a cast metal horse. These items are presented alongside a variety of domestic collectables such as a miniature trunk, a ceramic tiger figurine, an hourglass, and other miscellaneous pieces.
