Black Watch queries

[Sonofacqms]

Can anyone confirm the large brooch is Black watch?

Any ideas on the small KC badge with "42" in the centre pictured here with a normal Black Watch cap badge?

Thanks in advance

Yes the Pipers plaid brooch is Black Watch and perhaps the small badge was part of a waist belt clasp?

Thanks Thomas for verifying the pipers brooch, yes, with N-S loops the "42" it could well be a belt adornment.

I think the Plaid Brooch is a bit more universal and possibly worn by civilians maybe the Canadian Black Watch too, the Black Watch ones I am familiar with have a Sphinx and sometimes motto in the design,VB's TF generally had their title on them, it's not the Royal Scots either they had a Victorian Crown on theirs.

Paul,
The reason I put this up for verification is that really there is no definite indication as to what or who wore this item, I bought a small collection of these brooches some years ago which included a Royal Scots which has as you say a QVC as well as the title below.

Before I start re-carding I think I will wait for a more certain answer.

Many thanks Rob

Rob,
I base my reply on having served attached to both Regts, the Watch on two occasions. You see many of the Plaid Brooches like yours for sale from a variety of sources, there must of been Regts of Pipers that I probably missed
