Please help with a few Cameronians

[davidguthrie]

Have three Cameronians cap badges, hoping for some help with age/era.

If I'm not mistaken, in Bloomer's book, Scottish Regimental Badges, these are #104, 102, 112 respectively.

#104, I'm unsure about, but think #104 instead of #103 due to bow under star - please help/confirm. Per Bloomer - 1900??

#102, in bz, dates 1881-7 - is mine that old?

#112 in the book is bz, mine is WM (or plated brass/bronze?). Is the dates 1887-1908 apply here? Or later?

Thanks.

Thanks.

As the 4th Volunteer battalion, The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) became the 8th Battalion, The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) in 1908, why do you think a badge with 4V in it would be of a later date?

The Cameronian Light Infantry's blackened brass badge was sealed in 1898 and replaced in 1906 by the w/m version.
