Black Watch Sporran - Post WW1?

[OC Richard]

I think I've found your sporran!

This sporran is said to be the sporran of the Glasgow Highlanders.

You can read online about that unit's convoluted history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_Highlanders

They wore a uniform like that of The Black Watch with a slightly modified cap badge.

If this is indeed a Glasgow Highlanders sporran it raises why they would adopt a slightly different sporran badge than the Black Watch.



I failed to point out earlier that the pipers of The Black Watch have long worn a badge nearly identical to the cap badge of The Cameron Highlanders on their crossbelts.

Thing is, Cameron Highlanders cap badges have long existed in two versions, one with scroll and one without. The no-scroll Camerons cap badge is nearly identical to the Black Watch pipers' crossbelt lower badge.



So, the Glasgow Highlanders wouldn't have needed to get their design from the Camerons.
