Default Scottish badge

My friends,

I'm calling for your help as my friend and I were wondering what badge this is? It's a real looker!
Thanks for your help

Jan

Jan,
if genuine this would be the badge of the 6th Volunteer Battalion of the Gordon Highlanders, c.1884-1908.. Alas a faked to death badge, which should have rather more substantial lugs if it were to be genuine! IMO

Thanks Andy. It looks such a nice badge to be fake, but of course possible.

Can others confirm the fact that it is fake please? Thanks
(just want to be 100% sure Andy)
