An interesting find!

I never said anything about wearing it. I have inherited several 19th century Scottish items. All this goes to the collection.

Has any one ever heard of a thing called "A Display?"

Not trying to get nasty here, I wouldn't wear it in public. That's foolish. That is just as bad as folks wearing eagle feathers who aren't entitled too.

I've noticed that sometimes folks here tend to assume before they ask.

I used to be into US military stuff as well. I have some Ranger patches and so on. I have gentic ties the US Army and the US Navy. My right to serve in the Army was taken from me over a fluke medical tragedy... so that's a wee bit of an emotional topic...

Anyway, I really like Scottish Military garb/accessories and anything that is historicaly accurrate.

I hope I didn't get nasty, I wasn't trying to.

Peace

Crest & Plant Badge

It's a Clan Gunn crest badge with a twig of juniper behind it... If I'm not wearing that, I wear my blue bonnet! Most os the time, I wear no cap at all.

Very nice "Glesca Keelie" badge there, Daniel!

"Glesca Keelie" was the nickname for the HLI -- A "keelie" in Glasgow was someone who started a fight just for the fun of it! :mrgreen:

I wonder if it might have been a "sweetheart" pin of some sort. Do you have a photo of the attachment?

I collect badges and insignia from the Scottish regiments and Canadian Scottish regiments at present. I have also collected Australian Army insignia, Rhodesian items and Pipe Band patches.

Cheers,
