Material: Gilding Metal - Brass
Size: 37 mm w × 22 mm h
Description: This is a gilding metal (brass) collar badge issued to Other Ranks of The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment). The design consists of the Scottish thistle—the ancient floral emblem of Scotland—centrally placed above a curved scroll inscribed with the regimental title "ROYAL SCOTS." Unlike the regiment's cap badge, which features the Star of the Thistle and St. Andrew, this collar badge is a simpler, elegant heraldic design intended to be worn in pairs on the collar of the Service Dress or Number 1 Dress tunic. The "unmarked dual lugs" typically indicate a pre-1950s manufacture, designed to be secured through the uniform collar with split pins.
Circa: 1881-1955
