1999 was the 75th Anniversary of the RBLWS Scotland and they issued a pin.
May 1999 was also another 75th Anniverary:
"Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother today reviewed a Parade of Standards of the Royal British Legion Women's Section in the garden at Clarence House to mark the 75th Anniversary of Her Majesty's Presidency."
Was there a special/commemorative pin/badge for this rather than a Conference one ?

Picked up a job lot that include a caseworker , WS treasurer , 4 WS Conference pins (2000/2001/2005/2006) and this unusual one.
Can't find anything about it on the internet but was wondering if it could 'possibly' have any connection to 1999 ?
The way the two C's are positioned give the impression of a stylised E , could this be a tribute to the 75 years of Elizabeth The Queen Mother's Presidency of the Women's Section ?
I may be grasping at straws , anyone have any other ideas ?
