thoughts on this black watch badge

[badgecollector]

hi all
normally, any cast badge is sent straight to my scraps box however this badge came with several other and all original WW1 badges.
its obviously a cast Black Watch badge so im asking for your thoughts on it. could it be a field cast item or is it just junk?
thanks in advance

Looks like a field cast badge to me.

Interesting item BC, dont throw it in the scrap box.
Impossible to say where and when it was made though, most cast BW badges you encounter are brass unusual to see a wm version. Top & bottom points of star are missing and lettering not formed fully.
PM me if you want to move it on.
