I bought this here in the US with a small collection of Scottish officer badges that are pictured in another thread. The seller wasn't sure either, but he thought possibly long serving officer or family hand me down to WW2. Any thoughts?
Thanks

I would not call myself an expert I just have a large collection with various items to compare. It is possible it was a hand me down item, also it could be left over unfinished stock that was recycled in the 1930s. Mr Sharp was an apprentice at Hamilton & Inches before joining with Wilson.
Certainly an unusual piece congratulations on some nice badges.
