Best Wishes....IanB/ Desert Rat I Have a few Ian, and all different "voids" on them...none of them have marks or date stamps on them....I bought it as a WW2 badge, and have a quite well worn WW2 Glengarry I want to fit it to, but not if its not authentic, its going to be a gift for an ex Argyll.......:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Hello Norrie, Strange they have no makers markings on them, maybe they didn't stamp badges like they did in France and Germany...Don't know really, but I hope you can find out more info on them and please let us know how you get on. Best Wishes Mate....Desert Rat/ Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian beacock Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 My question is why do the collar dogs and Argyll and Sutherland differ with the Sutherland Cat? sitting on it tail looking straight forward and others with the cat facing you with tail erect? Is it because 1st and second Battalions are regulars and others are territorials? please advise. I will to fascinated to know may details please?
