Summary

[edit]
Description

This beautiful badge probably sits proudly in the "cap badge" or helmet plate collection of several collectors, fortunate enough to possess one of these scarce items.

Unfortuantely for them however this fine badge is "only" a collar dog - an epaulette badge actually - worn by the Force from around 1930 until sometime after WW2 It was introduced when the Force's own cap badge of similar design but without the Force title (see adjacent photo) was phased out to be replaced by the Scottish Constabulary crest ("Semper Vigilo") cap badge.

Being a small force, with only 23 officers of all ranks in 1925 and 24 in 1940, these items were rarely seen outwith the county and the design and quality certain give the impression of being a hat badge.
