Title Duke of Atholl's clan badge
Nationality Scottish
Period c 1950?
Price £20.00

The Duke of Atholl was the only man in Britain allowed to raise a private army, so this might well be for his unit. However, other members of his clan/family would have been entitled to wear this.

It would appear to be made of base metal with an EPNS finish and measures 3.5cm across. It is stamped 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' on the reverse, an indicator of later provenance.

It is a nice clean badge. The central device is die-struck and sweated onto the body of the badge.

Chris, the PAB has arrived, a totally genuine wartime piece and I'm very pleased...

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
