Highlanders badge
Hi,
I am not sure what this badge is but I think it is Gordon Highlanders? Any chance it is a good one or is it a copy? Any opinions gratefully received.. cheers, Rick |

Rick,
Its one of the typical 'large' badges that have been made since the 1970's and is a fake. The quality is totally lacking as is any evidence of age. Often seen in numbers on ebay and every non specialist auction house who bags themselves a 'militaria' collection to sell. regards

Looks like No 297 from the Martin Marsh catalogue.

Hi, thanks, pretty much confirms my gut feeling, however I paid peanuts for it so into the scrap pile it goes...
cheers, Rick |
