Title Gordon Highlanders glengarry badge, 1896 pattern
Nationality Scottish
Period c 1896-1945
Price £15.00

This badge would have been worn continuously from 1896 until the introduction of Stabrite badges in the early 1960s. However, looking at the reverse and the brazed construction of the copper lugs with the all-important feet, I suspect that this is a 1914-era badge.

It is constructed of die-struck white metal and, though the highlights are polished, it is essentially still in good condition. measuring nearly 7 cm across.

Bayonet arrived safe + sound this AM Sat. Special delivery excellent again. Worth the few extra bob. To be honest it was better than I dared hope. I usually avoid polished bits like the plague!! Your price was a bit fierce!! - but a great marking I lacked... Please email me anytime you have anything that might be of interest.
