Default KOSB by Tiptaft
A quick teatime teaser.

Can anyone see why I was delighted to finally add this Kings Own Scottish Borderers to the collection?

Hmmm
The only thing I can see it's not voided in between the back leg and crown?
Otherwise, "dunno"!

Luke,

Tiptaft maker, nice and a big tick in the rarity stakes I think.

Spot on Simon.

It’s marked between the turrets on the reverse to the viewers right Chris.

A scarce badge and first I’ve seen in over a year of searching.

Cheers Luke
Does Simon win the badge?
Is this the only makers marked KOSB badges?
I am aware of the Gaunt tablet marked QVC badges

Unless my eyes are off, the relative size of the lugs and the badge suggest it is the small size adjutant's forage cap badge.
