Glasgow Highlanders, Black Watch
I have had this badge for several years, it came with one loop missing and I have no idea as to when it was made or when it was worn if ever.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what this is? Rob |

If that's is original, the quality is terrible. IMO

This is a badge that has never been fully identified, sorry that I have posted it yet again, but as this forum has new members joining on a regular basis the chances are hopefully that someone will have an idea as to it's origins.
As for it's quality, it came with one loop broken off and is not a brilliant strike, however, when in a conversation with the late Hugh King he expressed an interest in it, he obviously knew more than I did . . ! Rob Last edited by Sonofacqms; 10-11-18 at 04:06 PM. |

I have had two of these over the past 20 years, not good quality but I assume a manufacturer's error.

I would think you are correct in saying it's a manufacturers error, especially as you have had two of these in the past.
Many thanks Rob Last edited by Sonofacqms; 10-11-18 at 04:06 PM. |

There are 3 options:
1. It's a WW1 re-cut die (wrongly cut) issued to meet shortages just like the 3 tower Suffolks, long key Northants etc. 2, It was commercially made at the time but not officially recognised. 3. Its an early fake. Alan |
