WWII 1941 CORO Belgian Lion “V for Victory” Patriotic Brooch
Offered here is an original World War II Home Front patriotic brooch manufactured by Coro and copyright dated 1941.
This substantial silver-tone brooch features the Belgian Lion (Rampant Lion of Flanders) integrated within the iconic “V for Victory” symbol — a powerful emblem widely adopted by Allied nations following Winston Churchill’s 1941 V campaign.
American jewelry manufacturers produced a wide range of patriotic pieces during the early war years to show solidarity with occupied Allied nations. This Coro example represents Belgium, which had fallen under German occupation in 1940.
The reverse bears the original © CORO 1941 mark, placing its production squarely in the early WWII period.
Construction details include:
• Solid cast wartime alloy construction
• Horizontal rollover safety clasp
• Strong sculptural relief of the lion
• Large, display-worthy size
This is a true period Home Front piece — not a modern reproduction.
Condition:
Honest wartime wear with natural patina. No repairs noted. Clasp functions properly. Please review photographs for exact condition details.
A fine example for the WWII Home Front collector, Coro jewelry specialist, or Allied-nation memorabilia enthusiast.
