Default Camerons Sweetheart?

Hi Gents,

Any opinions on this very large white metal "Camerons" which appears to have been adapted as a Sweetheart or a pin on brooch.

Thanks

Kevin

Greetings Kevin.

I am no expert in relation to Cameronians badges, however I like this item for the following reasons:

The clarity and striking of both the front and rear appears genuine, especially the face and hands, nothing distorted nor alien.

If it is a wrong 'un, why add the excessive silver braize or whatever it is?
The fixtures for the brooch fitting appear the same as many brooched badges I have and have seen.

However, as always, I stand to be corrected and lashed ruthlessly with a stick of wilted rhubarb.

Regards

Brian

Brian,

Thanks for looking and your positive comments.

Wilted rhubarb does sound a little medieval though

Regards

Kevin

Yes, wilted celery is more up to date, WWII (a la 'Allo 'Allo).
