Black Watch Territorial Battalion brooched badge

[Tinto]

Hi All,
Here is an example of Territorials badge with brooch fittings. No sign of lugs.
Were these common?
Cheers, John

The badge itself is a good one. I believe it originally did have lugs, but the brooch fitting has obliterated any remains of them.
Whether that conversion was done for civilian use (sweetheart) or a soldier had it done for convenience to replace a broken lug will never be known.
