Scots Guards or Royal Scots - Sweetheart or Cap Stars - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Hello All

I have the 2 badges pictured below but have never really fully identified what they are so am asking the experts for their opinions. Are they Royal Scots or Scots Guards and are they sweetheart badges or beret/cap stars. Both badges are just over 1 inch wide and the largest one is approx. 1 1/4 inch tall. Both are multi piece construction with green enamel disc and appear to silver plate and gilt (although the gilt has long gone).

Many thanks in advance

Paddy

I would suggest the first is an SG sergeants cap badge, the second is an RS WO's or officer's glengarry badge. First one looks like it may be privately made or possibly campaign made in India or somewhere like that.
Cheers,

Alex it over half an inch too small to be a Cap Star in my opinion.
