Default Elgin Regiment
Hi all, I haven't posted much in the last week so I thought I'd show my Elgin Regiment Officers badge and collars. Note that the back is stamped with a "P" indicated plated.

Enjoy,

Greg

Yes, P is for plated and S for sterling. Yet again I'm amazed that the manufacturers of such beautiful badged never marked them This badge has many variations in the officers pattern, all focused on the amount of overlay. I seen versions with just St.George and the dragon, others with just the mottoe. I think on the back of Chris Brooker's WW2 book he shows some of these different versions. I'll try to post a Queen's crown version later today.
