Royal Scots ??

[Cleeman]

Can anyone confirm if this button is Royal Scots. Also period worn please. Looks to be burnished silver on gilt. No maker's Mark.
Many thanks.

Hello

Yes, Royal Scots, officer's mess dress button. Silver on gilt is for a regular battalion. Volunteer battalions used reverse colours, gilt device on a silver button.

Not easily dated some of these mess buttons, especially with no maker's details, so I would have to go with from 1881 - 2006. I would be glad if someone else could narrow it down a bit!

I don't know what mess button the Royal Regiment of Scotland uses but presumably they could still use this design.

Thanks for the reply Roger. Great to confirm Regt, just got to nail the date now...
Thanks again.
