I'm falling off my chair....
It is ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH. No Lpl Scot badge was EVER made in bi-metal. I (and others) have been to the National Archives, NAM, IWM (let alone the Lpl Scot Assoc in Lpl) looking up the Pattern to conform that it was only ever made in WM. I think it was Gaylor or Bloomer who dreamed up the idea that SNCOs had BM badges - sadly some dealers still try it on. Last edited by KLR; 24-01-21 at 03:30 PM.

The rear looks like its home made.

The original 1908 badge survived to 1937 (superseded by the Cameron version), but a New Metal version was produced for the ‘V’ (The Liverpool Scottish) Coy, 5th/8th (Vol) Bn The King’s Regt in 1992.
I get worried when a dealer says that whaterveritis is an unofficial badge......

Bloomer certainly shows a bi metal glengarry badge and one of the two examples I have owned ( before knowing that they were spurious) came from Hugh Kings list when he used to sell badges but not a badge that he included in his book.
Please see last paragraph in photo. P.B.

The two piece Lpl Scottish glengarry badge was produced from 1908 to 1937 but only given the Pattern in 1915 when the WO started giving Patt nos from 1915 as Pattern 603/1915.
The one piece badge was Pattern 9392/1917, also still produced to well after the 1st WW - up to 1937.
