This is a vintage Girl Guides trefoil enrolment/promise badge.

 

Key Features

Design Symbolism: The trefoil (three-leaf clover) shape represents the three parts of the Girl Guide Promise.

Letters & Symbols: The initials "G G" stand for Girl Guides, and the star cutout at the top leaf symbolises a guiding star. The stem forms a stylised cross or compass needle pointing forward.

 

Scroll Design: The blank scroll banner at the base indicates a classic design variant, often dating from the mid-20th century or earlier.

 

 

Registration Stamping

The Registered Design Number: The text "REG. No 671782" at the bottom is a United Kingdom Registered Design Number. This specific design pattern was officially registered and patented in 1919. 

 

An original vintage Girl Guides Trefoil Promise badge (traditionally known as a Tenderfoot badge), which dates from approximately the 1920s to the 1930s. 

 

Design Features: This is a brass or bronze stamped emblem featuring the classic three-leaved trefoil clover design. It features a fretted (cut-out) star on the top leaf and the letters "G" and "G" embossed on the side leaves. 

 

History: The central cut-out star represents the Guide Promise, and its multiple points traditionally represented the Guide Laws. Early variations from this period frequently display a completely plain lower ribbon scroll (lacking any text overlay).

 

Origin: The reverse side of this registered design (frequently marked with Regd No 671782) was manufactured primarily by British maker J.A. Wylie & Co in London or similar makers of the era.
