Default Black Watch plaid brooch - without EGYPT and Sphinx

This standard size (3 1/2 inches diameter) nickel/chrome plated Black Watch-type plaid brooch does not have the Sphinx over Egypt device and is replaced with some type of crossed branches/leaves. Who uses this pattern, please? Thank you.

kindest regards,

Tim

If it is Black Watch - a TF unit?

That is a definite possibly, thank you.

I wonder if anyone could say what unit, precisely?

Could it be Canadian Black Watch as they use similar accoutrements, minus the Sphinx and battle honour?

all the best,

Tim

Default Plaid Brooch

Fairly certain that it is a plaid brooch for the Canadian Black Watch.
