Default Black Watch Battalion ACF Cap Badge

Never seen one of these before - it must be scarce - note the title scrolls read “Black Watch Battalion ACF” - it was apparently worn by the Battalion’s Pipes & Drums…

Rubbish quality but quite likely a band badge as stated.

I really like posts like this, this is the sort of badge you might come across at a flea market and now we know a little about it.

That’s the one. Thanks for that. The 2 badges are identical.
Very rare if only 2 seen in 7 years.
Any more out there?

Hi, yes I have one I think it was posted on my Black Watch QC thread some time ago. Don’t think they are genuine issued but I could see a cadet officer taking a shine to one. But really just a curiosity item.
