A fine die-stamped blackened brass example. Finely seeded circular plate with burnished rim bearing the double headed eagle in relief with a scroll inscribed "Pro rege lege et grege"; a shield on his chest charged with Pascal Lamb device. Three screw posts to the reverse.
1st PHRV became 4th Vol Bn Black Watch (RH) in 1887.

2nd Bn SNCOs overlay removed from the star.
Two holes pierced at 1 & 6 o' clock probably for fixing to a slouch hat worn during the Boer War period.
