Black Watch badge of sorts
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but it is one of the die cast replicas by Matchbox in the “Famous Regimental Badges” series.
This one is unusual because the packet has never been opened or the badge removed and the brief regimental history inside has never been read. The packet is in good condition with a couple of tears etc but it must be getting on for 70 years old and I know from personal experience that everything 70 odd years old is never going to be immaculate. Please put in different category if it is felt appropriate. P.

I have a few of these, all out of packets some without cards, purchased in the 70's, possibly 60's at Cheesemans" store in Lewisham.

Thanks for the replies, not as unusual to find in unopened packet as I thought and also produced later than I imagined.

As a matter of interest, how brief is the regimental history?
