Thanks Gerard. Well I picked a couple of them up in an odds and sods box. They appear to be identical, so one would assume deliberately cut in this fashion?

It most certainly does. The 'patches' for sale appear be a copy of an arm badge worn in WW2.
Mine I would suggest have no age at all. I automatically assumed they were a tartan badge backing, however it does seem to be like those being offered as copies of wartime battledress badges. Learning has taken place - unless we think that they may well be a later backing for Cameronians. Many thanks chaps. |

"However, the name of the Cameronians continued through the Territorial Army, with two companies of the 52nd Lowland Volunteers badged as Cameronians. One company was disbanded in 1992, and the other was rebadged as the King's Own Scottish Borderers in 1997. The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)

Ah well, that is a bit more likely. Potentially a later (I.e. not wartime) Cameronians 'tartan patch'.
Spot on I reckon Mike. Thank you. |

Any old bits and pieces of tartan were utilized to make these in ww2 and after. There were no issues of specifically made tartan patches for this purpose until more recent times, as for TOS backings etc. CB CB

Just a thought, could this possibly be a Lamont tartan backing for the old 125 Ration Sqn RLC before amalgamation into the Scottish Transport Regiment.
