Default Cameron's Pipers badge?
Hi folks

I'm doing a bit of weeding......for badges that worry me.
Here is a Cameron Highlanders badge, but in chrome.......and with a slider?
I cannot for the life of me make out what it says on the slider.

Is this possibly a pipers badge as it is chromed or is it just another duff badge for the fakes drawer?
Cheers
Sean

Looks very fake to me. I know of no headdress or article of dress that required a slider, and it’s a manifestly poor stamping.

First thing I checked Tony, in fact that's what I was weeding out of my collection when I spotted this and the DWR on that I've asked about, this one is heavily chromed Tims pictures show more frosted looking badges.
Cheers

The left hand edge has a crude cast appearance?

Whatever it is one for the fake drawer (waste paper bin) if it were mine.
