It’s a product of a forgers imagination.
‘Fake fantasy glengarry badge’ would be a good title.
With a description of ‘this badge never existed, doesn’t belong to any Regiment and was dreamt up in the 1970s by the fakers purely to deceive collectors’.
It isn’t even a space filler and has no value in my opinion beyond scrap.

Hi,
Have seen a photo of what looks like this badge being worn. which would have been worn in white metal, by the 4th Volunteers battalion South Wales Borderers signalling detachment. The photo has the soldiers wearing the normal 4th VBSWB and the type mentioned in this post in their glengarry’s.I believe the brass type was sold by the SWB museum at some point, don’t have an example in my collection, as I have never seen one that I would be happy to buy.(also seen a reference to the white metal version in the Bryn Owen notes in The SWB museum)
Thanks,
Eddie
