Unknown Insignia- Any Help Appreciated
Greetings Everyone!
Thank you for viewing my post. I recently acquired a group of seven related pins, and I do not know to which branch of military service they belong. The seven pins are as shown, and one is a sterling name tag marked "H.G. Perkins". Unfortunately, the backs of all of the pieces are unmarked as to their maker. I know that they have considerable age, as the pin clasps are very rudimentary. Any help is greatly appreciated, as I am anxious to know the history of these items.

Hi David, Welcome to the Forum.
I think most of your items are for Scottish dress, but not military. The one pin with the the blue enamel thistle appears to be mounted on a US parachute qualification wing.

The brooches with the colored stones were a popular souvenir/product of Scotland in the nineteenth century and probably early twentieth, I'd guess but, as Bill says, not military.
