Buster Posted September 19, 2017 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
Fritz Posted September 19, 2017 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

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
leon21 Posted September 21, 2017 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

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
