A nicely die struck example, with some polishing to highpoints otherwise with sharp detail to front and back, but sadly with two replacement loops. This version with the spelling "Lacessit" on the motto scroll. A genuine example of a much copied badge.

Highland Light Infantry (Territorial Battalion) White Metal Glengarry Cap Badge - South Africa Scroll

A gorgeous example, die struck and domed shaped with two original flat connector style brass loops to the reverse. Apparently worn by the Territorial Force 6th Battalion of the Regiment post 1908 as it has the scroll "South Africa 1900-2" scroll, although K&K attributes it to the 5th, 7th and 8th Battalions.
