Default Scottish Infantry Brass Badges

Hello All,

Bloomers' book, Badges of the Highland and Lowland Regiments, indicates that all 10 regular Scottish Infantry viz:
Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment)
Royal Scots Fusiliers
King’s Own Scottish Borderers
Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)
Black Watch (Royal Highlanders)
Highland Light Infantry (City of Glasgow Regiment)
Seaforth Highlanders (Rosshire Buffs, The Duke of Albany’s)
Gordon Highlanders
Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders
Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise’s)
(pre anodised) badges are found in brass.

Apart from the GM 'economy issue' Royal Scots, does anyone know when the 'brass' badges were worn. (I believe the Cameronians blackened brss was used up to and including WWI).

Additionally, does anyone have any of these as spare badges as I would be interested.

Many thanks

Chris
