The officer's Nova Scotia Highlanders is not that scarce. This is the modern one you are after isn't it?
The old North Nova Scotia Highlanders officer's cap badge is a gem if you can find one without the enamels chipped.

I'm quite happy having all three Victorian 21st Lancers cap badges, although I would like an undamaged crossed lance one. I suppose a double scroll 19th Hussars is now top of the list. (And a GORDON shoulder title!).

Good Morning Gentlemen.....

Have enjoyed reading of your searches but I would like to ask one favor.....

If the badge you are looking for has a K & K or some other reference number can you also place that in your post..... Or a photo, if you have one, would even be best that way other members can keep their eyes open for you..... You never know where they may show up and with all the eyes of the membership looking you can never tell what might show up.....

Maybe it is here in the colonies.....

Mike

Genuine VB cap Badges to the North Staffords and South Staffs. But the report merchants have already severely limited my chances.
