Austria-Hungary, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy, was a constitutional monarchy and great power in Central Europe between 1867 and 1918. It was formed with the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, and was dissolved following its defeat in the First World War.
The badge is 50mm wide at its widest point. It is made of hand cut wool and cotton. Our version is pretty much an exact copy and taken from an original! Tack stich it to the side of the cap.
