This stunning cap badge is made of brass plated pewter and features the insignia of the Scots Guards Regiment. It measures at approximately 1 and 1/2 inches in diameter. It attaches to the hat with a traditional pin-style backing. Made in Scotland.
One of the most ancient forms of showing your clan affiliation, the cap badge is an ornamental fitting that attaches to a glengarry, balmoral or feather bonnet. It fits onto the ribbon style rosette on the left side of the hat. The badge can also be worn on a plaid or woman's sash as a decorative element to compliment the tartan. Wearing this badge is a great way to proudly show your clan crest or highland military regiment.

Cap Badge
The image on the web shows the caps badge of the Scots Guard Regiment in a definite gold tone, I understand the regiment is part of the Order of the Thistle as is the Knights of Saint Andrew of which I am member. The piece I received has most of the gold tone off as if it was returned. I still find the piece to be a handsome piece, but still slightly disappointed when the item is compared to the item shown on the website catalog. This in no way affects shopping relations with JHiggins as I continue to look forward to future purchases for my Scottish needs.
