Default 93rd Foot Sutherland Highlanders

I picked this one up along with the 78th Highlanders seen in a separate thread. Again I suspect this is a bad one, but am curious as it does not have the 'footed lugs'. As always I welcome your expert opinion. Thanks.

I would have expected to see better detailing on the reverse. Some badges have very good quality to the reverse, from good quality die's. Yours is very smooth, the crown too is very poorly detailed. Someone else will hopefully confirm this, or not.

It looks a cast copy to me, not that I know anything about these badges.

I would have expected a badge of this period to have brass lugs like the glengarry badges.
Cheers,
Alex
