The 25th Battalion cap badge and the 4th Field Ambulance collar are my favorites. There are three lugs on this badge. I have included a photo of the one lug on the badge that I can expose. This is the lug at the 6 oclock position on the badge. The other two lugs are up near the tips of the horns/antlers.

Thanks
Bob

The three lugs appear to be wire loop types. A lovely example of a Great War "Imperial" Seaforth Highlanders cap badge.

Hi Bob, That lug pattern is usually associated with the imperial Seaforth's. But, a Canadian fellow could have easily picked one up.

Thanks for that guys. I guess I should have shown the lug photo in the original post. Whenever I get around to framing the hate belt I will put a photo on the forum.

Thanks
Bob
