Black Watch or ?
A long time ago I told my dealer that I wanted a Black Watch and was sent this. I had expected it would be white medal. Could this be the 1916 brass version? Or something else? Opinions appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, I don't have a picture of the back. Don

Hi Don,
To the best of my limited knowledge, there should not be a brass Black Watch, it's not shown in Bloomers anyway ?? There was a bronze Officers version to the 1st ( City of Dundee ) Volunteers Battalion, The Black Watch ( Royal Highlanders ), 1902 - 1908. I hope this helps, it's not unlike the situation with my 14th London, there shouldn't be one but I'm keeping it ?? I'm always wrong so I'm sure some-one will come along and refute what I have said. lol......... Dave.

Somewhat confusing, but I read somewhere that the Canuks made them for their forces in brass and some without the word "Canada" on them.

Canadian? Who'd have thought?
Thanks Jo.
And I thought I didn't collect Canadian! The knowledge base of this forum never ceases to amaze me. Now that I am a certified Canadian collector, could you please give me some background on this unit. Also, is it rare, common, or just a bit out of the ordinary? Of course now it's back to square 1 trying to find a WWI British Black Watch. Thanks for the help. Don
