Speaking fro myself..hard to say..this looks cast..
Lots of Calcutta Scottish badges coming up on ebay off and on so becoming difficult to tell..I for one always worry when a badge looks too clean and too new though ofcourse some 100 year old badges are still found in excellent condition |

Hi Khyber
Thanks. Yes, it is cast but I have no idea what the quality of badges were for this unit. Despite it being cast, it seems quite good quality and made from 3 separate pieces which are pinned through to hold them together, the pins are visible on the back. Cheers, Alex |

Calcutta Scottish badges were well made and good quality.
that badge is a modern cast copy, probably of an officers silver badge. It has all the hallmarks to the rear that scream to me, modern. regards

Just from the photographs, I would think it is not.
