Default Black Watch Pattern Card/Tag

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have an image of or, even better, the actual pattern tag of the Black Watch officers cap badge that was sealed on the 24th February 1997?

The badge is:

1. Base of silver plate over nickle silver.
2. First mount of a crown, wreath, scroll and sphinx of gilt over gilding metal.
3. Second mount of St. Andrew and saltire of silver plate over nickle silver.

This is the write up of the tag in the Imperial War Museum:

Regards,

Chris

This is my example - note slight tarnishing to reverse implying a silver plate finish.

Regards,

Chris

Will do it in the morning, but, more or less the same as yours except the securing pin is brass with a loop at the top.
