Default The 73rd Regiment in the eastern cape

About 20 years ago a friend of mine was given this large ( 70mm across ) badge. His benefactor had picked the badge up while digging around one of the old forts near Keiskamashoek. We surmise that it is a martingale from the 73rd Regiment ( 2nd Battalion , Black Watch ) . The regiment saw quite a bit of action in the area during the Frontier Wars of the mid 1800s. Can anyone positively identify this item ?
Regards
Mike
