Price - $17.50 plus postage. Rememberance Poppy Two styles of lapel pin to choose from - Rhodesian Lion & Tusk or New Zealand Kiwi
Measures 30mm high x 20mm wide Produced for those people who want to wear a Remembrance Poppy as a mark of respect on special days, not necessarily the nationally marked days of Armistice and ANZAC.

We have deliberately kept our designs completely different to anything on the market or currently used by veteran's welfare groups. Our statement on each label is as follows: Each one comes with a small label card in which you can write an inscription if you are going to be giving it to someone.
