The slider on this badge is unmarked as you would expect and has a distinct crease at the top.

The spaces between the horses rear legs as well as the space above the reins are solid.
Hi Mark,
the badge you describe matches exactly the image shown in Bloomers for the usual F&FY badge of the 14th bn Black Watch. The only differance is the badge has the ploom more horizontal. With the slender proportions of the plume i would say it has been bent vertical rather than struck that way.
Cheers, Dave
