Strange that no one can tell me who actually makes the restrike glengarry badges. It would be nice to buy them at source rather than through the middleman.

Yes, it is a top bar for a WW1 'Mothers of Australia' patriotic brooch to indicate the regiments in which their sons served. Mine has three different regimental bars, sorry no photo at present.
