The Queens Own Cameron Highlanders (79th Foot) Other-Ranks Victorian White Metal Glengarry Cap Badge - No Scroll

White metal die struck with two long dark toned lug fittings (east-west). Very good condition. Circa 57mm by 56mm wide. The Cameron scroll was added circa 1900. This pattern authorised for wear from 1872.
