Some Interesting Scottish Bonnet Badges - HLI, KOSB etc
Good day folks
Here are some interesting Scottish bonnet badges Bi Metallic HLI badge that could be an NCO's badge Cast and with a No 7 stamped on the rear. KOSB Badge with voided script - does this make it special in any way? Royal Scots badge but all white metal. Is this economy or something else? It appears to have been made by Lambourne's. Another LI badge that I don't recognise and yet another that is well polished and made from cast white metal and brass. Is this something to do with the HLI as well? As you can tell these are not my areas of expertise but I'd like to find out some more about them before offering them to the forum. Many thanks James Last edited by jamesmilitaria; 16-04-17 at 11:42 AM. |

The very well polished one is a Royal Scots officers/warrant officers cap badge (totally differant to the OR's pattern).
The KOSB one is again officers/WO's pattern with pierced scrolls. The HLI silver/gilt is also officers/WO's pattern. I'd be interested if you're getting rid of them? Ian H |

Brilliant, Thanks for the information Ian. I've sent you a PM
What about the Royal Scots in all white metal and the other LI badge that I haven't been able to identify? Anything further about them? Thanks James |

There was a Royal Scots all WM badge but not sure if this is one or if maybe the GM overlay has just come off. Difficult to tell as the detail is either poor or worn off. If it's been polished, it was probably an all WM badge but if the staining in the centre is the remains of solder then the overlay has probably come off.
I'm sure somebody more knowledgeable could be more decisive. Cheers, Alex |

Thanks for your comments everyone.
So just a puzzle over the Lambourne made w/m Royal Scots badge. I've looked very carefully and it just looks worn to me. I can't see any signs of solder. The rest Well polished Royal Scots officers/warrant officers cap badge The KOSB officers/WO's pattern with pierced scrolls. The HLI silver/gilt is also officers/WO's pattern. 4th/5th Royal Scots. Thanks everyone for your help. James |

You can see the HLI badge and cap worn between 1881 and 1897 in plate 10 (appearing later today), via the link embedded here: http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ad.php?t=60481 After the demise of the forage cap for Scottish regiments staff badges continued to be worn on the various types of bonnet.
