    Quoting from exocoins listing on Ebay (not fact-checked):
    "
    This is a World War II "Bundles for Britain" donation lapel badge made from resin and wood from the ruins of St. Dunstan's Cathedral in London (or some other structure), which was heavily bombed during the 1941 Blitz. This non-military aid program was begun in 1940 by a New Yorker named Mrs. Wales Latham. The pin reads DIEU ET MON DROIT (God and my right), Great Britain's motto, and shows a heraldic lion."
    Pre-owned, estate find.  In good condition with mild wear typical of vintage jewelry.  Pin is intact with a mild bend but fits ok in the "C" clasp.  PLEASE MOUSE OVER PHOTOS FOR CLOSE-UPS AS THESE ARE PART OF THE CONDITION DESCRIPTION.
