Argylls Tam O`shanter
Hi gents,
Posting this for opinions. I think the badge looks ok with no die flaw on the second "L" but there are no markings inside to indicate the maker or age. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have. Regards Kevin |

Hello Kevin
All looks ok from the pictures, is that a quilted liner in the Tam? I think if so then Tam is before the 1960’s they changed after I believe to no liner ( for other ranks anyway) Gerard

Hi Gerard,
No the liner is not quilted but is a brown silk to the top of the TOS only, better pics attached. Novel way to retain the badge, a smoker probably. Kevin |

Gerard,
Thanks for that, yes cotter pins and brass backing plates on both collar dogs and cap badges were always, if grubby, a good way to fill the duty roster.. Kevin |

Nice TOS, but it is from the 70s even up to the 90s. The smaller crown and liner style are typical from those times.
