RCT PIPERS BROOCH?

[sapper533]

Hi

This is the last of my RCT questions......I promise

A large plaid brooch and pin with thistle design, on the reverse someone has marked it "RCT HD"

Is this just a generic pipers brooch or did RCT Pipers actually wear this?

Size is 85mm across

cheers

Is there no images online of the Scottish transport regt pipers ? The ones that wear the diamond tartan patch on the beret,MacDuff i think .

It is military, as the Queen's Gurkha Signals have worn this pattern. Haven't seen it worn by RCT (but that doesn't mean much as I see very few pipers in Bristol). There's one of this pattern in my Pipers album.

Yes I've drooled over your album on many a lonely night lol, had forgotten about the QGS example you have. Just did a quick search to see what pipers of the GTR wore but what few photos I found aren't this badge.
Well at least we know it's QGS if nothing else.
