Tim,the collars are wrong on the card. They should be the old QOHldrs assaye elephants for ORs. Officers wore the tiger in bullion.

If you can find any clips of the 1st Edinburgh Tattoo,the 1st Hldrs were in Edinburgh. I'm sure that at that time they wore the tiger and elephant in the style of the Seaforths.

The 2 piece flat badge was worn by the Hldrs ORs in working and combat dress. The 3 piece "Staff" badge was worn with No2 and No1 dress.

Hi,
Can we please confirm if the two piece badge in the 5th image is for the Queens Own Highlanders or for the Highlanders(ORs), or is it correct for both.
Thanks

The Highlanders is a three piece badge as per Tim's display.

Also note the scroll part has 'ridges' running through it from north to south as per genuine A/A Seaforth Highlanders pieces.

Regards,

Chris

If you are looking for genuine representative Scottish badges, from first glance you may want to check with the Forum a few of the badges that you've shown in your post for authenticity. Difficult to see from the photos, but I suggest you may want to have a closer look at your Lowland Regiment, brassy Black Watch and large QVC KOSB for starters.
