This badge represents the East African Wild Life Society, as indicated by the inscription in red capital letters on a white background surrounding the center of the badge. At the heart of the medallion, a stylized antelope head is finely depicted in gilded relief on an enamelled green background, giving the whole a classic yet emblematic appearance typical of naturalist society productions from the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible face shows a strong contrast between the deep green background and the white border, enhanced by the metallic gleam of the animal. The white border bears the inscription \"EAST AFRICAN WILD. LIFE SOCIETY\" in clear, sharp characters, with no noticeable wear on the inscription. The enamel in the center offers a smooth, slightly glossy finish, typical of club or association badges from that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe animal motif, with its spiral horns and naturalist style, evokes a retro aesthetic. The ensemble suggests careful manufacturing, with clear details on the antelope's head and a beautiful harmony of colors. No major defects are visible on the front face: no enamel chips, no deep scratches, and no missing parts on the visible area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of badge was typically worn at events or as a mark of belonging to a wildlife conservation organization. This is a compact, easily pinnable object whose presentation evokes a commitment to the preservation of African wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brooch shows a slight patina, testifying to its age and authenticity, without altering the legibility of the motifs or the visual integrity of the piece. The absence of visible defects on the enamel or the border adds to the interest of this vintage badge, perfect for display in a showcase or on suitable textile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
