This is an Oldie Mr.Ron Now taking into consideration the Name changes.

If this was 5th Royal Scots it would say Scots instead of Highlander.

Therefore this Sweetheart pin is from 1906-1915 around??

It's a shame the pin broke, whoever the detail on the Button
brooch is in great condetion for It's Age.

I believe this to be a Great War or 1920, Men's lapel or sweetheart?
Look at the Pin it's flat and rounded like half moon, and the point
surpasses the locking mechanism by alot, Sterling Silver.








The Pine looks like a Boer War British 1895 Socket Bayonet, Lol.
