Hi bc,
It's the kind of badge that John Brown, personal assistant to Queen Victoria, might have worn. However, pictures show him wearing a clan-type badge. Cheers, John |

It looks to me like the fittings have been moved. I also have my doubts that the crown, VR & shamrock with thistle group is original to the badge.
Very nice piece though but I think made up. Maybe the thistle was for a bandsman's crossbelt or something and somebody turned it into a glengarry badge? Cheers, Alex |

Definitely looks like something made from 3 or more separate items, one way of selling stuff in a junk/scrap box.

Is it not 'reminiscent' of the Cameron Highlanders collars?
