Anodised Queens own Highlanders cuckoo in the nest!
 

Two Queens own Highlanders badges.
The one on the right purchased today is maker marked F&S, a nice badge.....
Made me realise I've got a cuckoo in the nest with my existing example on the left, it having an over sized thistle and crown portion between the antlers.
Any suggestions what the larger thistle/crown might be, it's lugged N/S.
Tony.

Is the crown and thistle on the left a sporran badge maybe

Royal Regiment of Scotland - Leather Purse/Sporran Badge. NSN 8455-99-974-1270 silver coloured anodised aluminium measures 46mm x 35mm and shown with the same crown and thistle design which is part of the Queen’s Own Highlanders Badge and measures 40mm x 29mm

Thanks very much gentlemen.
Question answered , will be able to sleep tonight.
Cheers Tony.

You may actually find that the F&S mark dates from when the badge was worn in the TOS by the Highlanders rather than the QOHldrs.

Mike interesting,
I was under the impression the Higlanders wore the 3d all ranks new metal cap badge?
Tony.

They did in the glengarry,not the TOS.

Thanks Mike.
Tony.
