EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable cap badge dating back to the late 19th century. The intricate metalwork of this piece is truly awe-inspiring, reflecting the craftsmanship of the English School during that era. The cap badge was worn by Colour Sergeants, Sergeants, and Musicians in the military between 1896 and 1920. It features the Star of the Order of the Thistle, with its rays crafted from white metal and the rest made from gilding metal. Two copper loops are attached to its reverse side for easy fastening. Part of a larger collection associated with Scots Guards, this badge holds great historical significance as it represents their service during that time period. The Scottish influence is evident through elements such as tartan patterns or symbols like thistles. This photograph not only captures a beautiful piece of militaria but also serves as an identification tool for those interested in studying regimental history or collecting memorabilia. Its gold and silver tones add an air of elegance to any space where it is displayed. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this image allows us to appreciate both the artistic value and historical context behind this exquisite cap badge from over a century ago.
