Can anyone confirm that this badge (in the op) has a 'closed' wreath and is therefore a sporran badge not a glengarry badge? Regardless of authenticity? Best regards, Mike

Mike,
The wreath in the OP does look closed to me and I have a similar chromed badge which I am sure is a sporran badge. I show it on the right next to the slightly smaller cast sporran badge and a glengarry badge on the left to show the open wreath. An Image of the rear of mine showing Gaunt tab to follow

Hi Paul. Thanks for replying. I ask because because I too have a closed wreath badge very similar to yours and the badge in the op, but mine (which has a Gaunt plate in the middle, like the op badge) has not been replated, ie the lugs and Gaunt plate are still brass/copper. I had read that a Gaunt plate was correct for a sporran badge but not for an open wreath (ie glengarry) badge? Will try and post pics tomorrow. Best regards, Mike

Can someone inform me please what makes a closed or open wreath with regards to a Liverpool Scottish badge. Just not seeing it. Regards, Paul.
Ah- is it on the larger badge the crossing of the 'stalks' at the bottom of the badge is all that makes the join- and that is 'open'?

Mine. Only recently acquired. Clearly Paul's, Life Boy's and this one are all from the same 'pod', with the same construction - the horse and scroll being attached via 3 pins to the back plate - 2 on the lower legs of the saltire behind the 'King's' scroll and one in the centre behind the horse's body (visible on the back of mine, just above the Gaunt plate). If those are the ends of the pins visible on the back, then they are an incredibly good fit. Since these are clearly an easily identifiable badge, might be a good opportunity either to put it to bed once and for all as a copy, or to confirm it as a good 'un, or at least as a 'possible' worthy of further debate? Would be interesting to know why your's have been plated. Best regards, Mike
