Essex Scottish bandsmen badge

[Wingnut]

I have recently acquired an Essex Scottish cap badge which has been chromed . It is original, no maker marks, die stamped, original lugs and chromed over the white metal. Appears to be older. I currently own another that is Roden Bros marked white metal, I have seen the brass variety and the cast variety as well. I have not seen a chromed one before. Is it a home job or bandsmen ??

Perhaps a Piper's badge? From the content of your post you have checked the other threads on the Essex on the Forum, and some of the discussion about the various finishes?

Thanks for the reply. I thought as much it is a pipers badge.
