PS. I believe this has been discussed before on the forum but can't remember when.
PPS. Tinto, I guess that means that your stars date from post 1931.
Thanks for this bit of information.
I have been trying to spot the difference between the Royal Scots Officers badge and the Scots Guards for years. No one has been able to tell me what the difference is . This could explain why the pictures in the various books I have consulted all look the same!
