Default Cameron Highlanders belt buckle?
I have been given a Cameron Highlanders belt buckle i think! it has the Cameron Highlanders badge but instead of Cameron on the scroll it has Waterloo instead, it is mounted by a pin through the back of what i would discribe as a brass belt buckle.

Can anyone help me by dating this item and if it is a belt buckle?

It was left to me and i have been told it is quite rare is this true?

Thank you in advance
Regards
Brett

There was a Waterloo Highland Regiment within the British Forces, and IIRC there was a Waterloo Regiment in the history of the Highland Light Infantry of Canada. Maybe soomeone else can post much more in depth information than I can, however, I would assume if the scroll says Waterloo and not Cameron, it would be Waterloo Regiment.

Any chance for a picture or two of this item?

Default Camerons badge
I rather think this is a badge from a Cameron Pipers Cross belt and if so is quite scarce, I am sure someone will be able to confirm
P.B.

I cannot upload a picture of the badge/ buckle as my camera is on the blink, would anyone have a picture of a cameron pipers cross belt they could show me so i can see if it is one?

Thank you for all the help so far

Default Camerons belt buckle
The badge on a brass plate is shown on Page 243 Of "The Queens Own Highlanders -Seaforth and Cameron" by Angus Fairrie and is described as a soldiers waist belt plate.

I still think the same device was worn as a cross belt ornament by pipers of the Camerons, I am sure someone else will be able to say if that is correct.
P.B.

Thats the one, thank you very much for all the information.

Regards
Brett

p.s Could anyone guess a rough price for one? not that i would sell it as it was left to me, but oviously it will be left to my children and i would hate them to be ripped off.

Thank you once again.

Brett,
As no one else has posted a reply I will give my opinion, I have to say this might not be a particularly scarce item,but if it has a familiy connection,then it is priceless.
I would suggest a value of, in the region of say £20-£25.

Hope this is not too disappointing.

P.B.
