Unknown Scottish Badge
Hopefully a learned friend can identify the attached badge, when I zoom into the picture it appears to show the writing "The Royal Scots", the badge design is the same as the RS but it's the centre that has me stumped.
I have been searching the net for answers and drew a blank. Help Thanks Gerry |

Peter, it is Pontius Pilate, one of the Royal Scots nicknames was Pontius Pilates bodyguard. I have seen 2 or 3 of these over the years.
