Middlesex and Huron Regiment Piper's, Glengarry cap badge?
2 Attachment(s)
Picked up this beautiful badge last week and I wish to share it the forum. It's listed in Chris Brooker's badges volume 3. Never seen one before and I picked it up for a great price. Asking if any one has any thoughts or knowledge of this badge?

Interesting badge, first time I have seen it.

Contrary to what Brooker says, this is piece of costume jewelry. Shortly after the Second WW, a couple of American companies acquired surplus badges or the dies and used them to make jewelry. It is one of several such pieces. Some are marked Agnew.

must have came from a die, because the badge is of brass. Thanks

Yes, it's a customized piece . Middlesex and Huron Regiment did not have a pipe band.
Some time ago one of these was listed in Hoare Auctions . Not sure what it sold for. It is a very attractive badge though , nice find . |
To note, this is not a military badge, but a piece of costume jewellery. Agnew, an American costume jewellery concern, acquired some dies, notably the Middlesex & Huron and the Chaplain corps and used them to make jewellery.
