For more than two decades, BrandNet has retained selected numbered pieces from many of our limited-edition collections. These Archive Editions include significant and desirable numbers deliberately set aside when the collections were originally released - pieces that have remained within the BrandNet Archives, in some cases for many years.
Now, for the first time, selected Archive Editions are being made available to collectors. Each number is offered individually and priced according to its significance and rarity, giving you the opportunity to choose the exact numbered edition you would like to own.
Select your preferred Archive Edition from the available numbers above. Once a particular number is sold, it leaves the BrandNet Archives and will not be available again.
Eighty years on from the end of World War II, this limited edition, individually numbered poppy lapel pin pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the machinery that shaped the battlefield; and the brave souls who operated them.
One of a special trio of commemorative pins themed “War Machines of WWII”, this design honours the formidable Matilda II Tank, proudly featured in antique silver at the heart of a deep red enamel poppy. Known for its heavy armour and resilience, the Matilda II played a critical role in the North African and Pacific campaigns, offering protection and firepower to ground forces under some of the most challenging conditions of the war.
The surrounding red poppy serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance, representing not only those who fought on foot, but also the mechanics, engineers, and tank crews who fought with courage from within these steel giants.
Strictly limited to 1,000 numbered pieces, this pin is both a striking keepsake and a meaningful tribute. Whether worn or collected, it honours the machines of war and the human cost behind their strength, ensuring their stories are never forgotten.
