Salut Jeanpit:

This is a nice, original 1939 pattern, other ranks glengarry badge for the Black Watch (RHR) of Canada. Cannot tell you which variant, or speak definitively as to originality without close-up photos of the obverse and (more importantly) the reverse.

Certainly a WWII badge (if original), as opposed to the post-war King's Crown types, which are somewhat more common.

Cheers,

Adam

Looks good to me. Most badges are unmarked but some have a small "R" on the reverse. Can you see such a mark?
