Default Highland Brigade.

Attached is a picture of an officer's quality cap badge to the Highland Brigade.
It is currently for sale on eBay.
Was this badge worn after the brigades had ended by 1970 ? Because it's made by LB & B, which was founded in 1973. (?).
Who was it made for ? Is it a copy ?

It looks nice but the maker mark is strange.

BUT

Have a look at his other Scottish badges for sale - 90% total FAKES, so, buyer beware!!

The badge was also worn by the Highland band. Unsure of dates.
