Officer's S/P and gilt glengarry badge.
Solid S/P back star mounted with a gilt overlay, to the centre a silver St. Andrew. Reverse with makers stamp LUDLOW LONDON, two silver loops now tarnished black. Unusually good quality badge for this maker. https://i.imgur.com/UxiktOa.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/tMWhF5T.jpg?1 |

It is unusually nice for Ludlow. I have a few officer badges by this maker and they are not quite up to Jennens or Gaunt with regard to overall detail and quality.

Fine quality badge with burnished highlights to the gilt. Die-struck star with a pronounced curve, although not marked I believe this to be Gaunt manufacture around 1950. https://i.imgur.com/2rT4q4s.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/UErlYyd.jpg?1 |

Die-struck ORs pattern badge which has been silver plated the face with frosted finish then highlights burnished to a mirror shine. The reverse with heavy tarnish, two fairly heavy long lugs. No signs of it ever being worn perhaps a presentation piece for display?

OR's glengarry badge die-struck in bronze. I cant explain why, perhaps used in Korea or Kenya? It does have service wear and some rubbing.

This could also sit in the 02-36 thread.
Pipers belt with civilian silver plate on copper buckle mounted with a yellow brass badge (blob under plinth variety). Inscribed on the interior Sgt Mjr T Millar 8th, 9th, 30th Bn The Black Watch (RHR). Further inscribed with other Millars and various names. Also noted is RSM A.Drummond a Sgt instructor MBE in 1942 commisioned in Lt 1944. Captain 1946. I suspect the 30th was a training unit possibly in Edinburgh 1940s. https://i.imgur.com/BT93k5a.jpg?1https://i.imgur.com/fSG6pLu.jpg?1https://i.imgur.com/KqHNJsl.jpg?1 |
