I have this superb cut silver example which I have always thought to be a "sweetheart" (an absurd appellation; civilian lapel badge being more accurate and for both sexes I might add).
Just what are these diminutive badges if not the aforementioned? I have a hard time trusting the old books sometimes.

A good article Alex but I still think the two regiments had different pattern stars, at least during the Edwardian period.
What is special about the one I showed above is knowing that it is definitely Scots Guards. It belonged to Lt. B.L. Fletcher (from the initials). He was acting-Major whilst seconded to the 3rd (Hawke) Battalion of the RND at the time of his internment in Holland in October 1914. Incidentally I have a Warrant Officer's star of exactly the same pattern. Bill |

Hi all, I thought you might be interested in this grouping of badges and hope not to Hijack the thread, think it nearly run its course reason to post these, and possibly learn from it!
The Pips and buttons came with the Cap Star which is shaped as can be seen in the side view! I do like these particular badges as can be seen, I guess! |

The first letter appears to be S the second looks more like an 8, but I can find no matches for any combination starting S, strange for quite a modern mark
