Two white metal lapel pins featuring sporting and hunting motifs, likely cast in pewter.

The reverse of the rifle pin bears a raised signature reading J. S. Brown and the alphanumeric mark N 23. The second pin depicts a brace of two game birds, possibly grouse or partridge, hanging by their feet with intricate casting to the feathers. The reverse of the bird pin features a small rectangular recessed mark reading PURE. Both pins are fitted with single sharp post mechanisms and butterfly clutch fastenings, one in a gilt metal effect and one in white metal.
