another piece in the puzzle. The 2 piece badge being worn by the drum major and the pipe major as late as 1968.
It appears as if this 2 piece badge may well have been worn from the 1940's to 1960's certainly by the PM and possibly for a time by pipers also.
also attached piper Brian Shanahan 1958 and a piper from the cover of 1969 album release with single piece badges (notice the Caubeen pulled to the left).
