Buster Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Here's more stuff I dug out that I forgot about, first are six royal Scots Buttons, 5 of them are made by JR. CAUNT & SONS & another isn't maker marked. Next are these two pips, I can't make out the script on these, there is red & green enamel work on then, I have no idea what regiment there from. Then I have these two Buttons, one is a Queens own Cameron Highlanders , the other one I had to look up, I think it's a Scottish horse Button. And lastly is this crown badge, I have no idea how old any of these items are so any help would be greatly appreciated . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Pips: Tria Juncta in Uno - three united in one. Some of the buttons may be pre-1920, they certainly look older. The pips may be WW2 or a bit later, the crown is pre 1953, could be possibly for a staff sergeant, worn above the chevrons, or possibly a major's shoulder insignia, depending on the fitting at the rear, would usually be two brass loops held by a split pin, as some cap badges are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great Fritz, very informative indeed, yes the crown has two rings and split pin intact, the Scottish horse button I had never seen before looking it up online 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The crown is a major's shoulder insignia, I have the same crown but mine still has the backing plate with it. The Button was worn by the WW1 Scottish Horse Regiment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Leon that's brilliant, I got the lot of them as one lot & they have been in in a little bag for years, I knew some of you could fill me in on them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Nice buttons, I'd say WW1 period. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
