With intricate detail, this piece uses gold stitching to encompass the famed crossing flags below the Ryder Cup trophy and above the matches year. The United States flag crosses the Great Britain flag on this contestant badge, the final match-up that lasted from 1927 until 1977. These bullion badges are highly sought after due to their presentation qualities and when it is from an 8-time Ryder Cup member's personal collection the intrigue grows exponentially.
