This object is identified through market consensus as a WWI or WWII era British Badged Souvenir Belt, commonly known as a Hate Belt. It is constructed from a strip of aged, textured brown leather, heavily adorned with a collection of 22 individual mixed-metal military badges and uniform buttons. The emblems, which include regimental cap badges and large uniform buttons, are composed primarily of white metal/silver-toned alloys and brass/bronze. Visible inscriptions identify several British or Commonwealth units, including portions of mottoes and titles such as THE WEST INDIA, THE QUEEN’S, and FUSILIERS. The badges are affixed directly to the leather strap.
