Title 79th Highlanders officer's plaid brooch
Nationality Scottish
Period mid-19th century
Sold

These were worn by officers, pipers and senior NCOs, the metal for the latter two being mostly nickel silver, while those for officers were either in fine quality silver plate or solid silver. This is of cast silver construction with an iron pin to the reverse. There are no hall marks, but this is typical of a mid-19th century example.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
