Robin Lumsden Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Latest additions to the collection .............................. Macbeth's worst nightmare !!! Does anyone know what the two variations signify, i.e. with and without the garter buckle ?? These badges were worn by both the army (Fife & Forfar/Black Watch) and Inspectors of the old Constabulary in Fife, but I'm at a loss re. the 'buckle' differences. Clan MacDuff and Fife Council also come into the equation.
Mervyn Mitton Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Robin - my first thoughts would have been the Regts. having the belt and buckle surround - but, that doesn't seem to be the case. Since designs have to be registered , it may just be local wishes. However, there is probably more than this. We will have to hope someone has local knowledge - or, knows where to research. Nice badges. Mervyn
