Hi,
There are quite a number of slightly different badges around. Other ranks in price may vary from GB pounds 5 on to 15-20 for the WW2 specimen.
Just returned from the Berwick-on-Tweed military Tattoo, in which we as re-enactors portrayed the 7th battalion KOSB (Europe 1944-45). Incidently, a veteran of this air landing battalion claims that they wore a plastic parachute regiment badge on their Glengarry whilst on home leave, and under normal circumstances the maroon baret with the KOSB badge.
Museum is great, and the curator is very helpful, but with the amalgamation of Scotttish regiments this museum may close down in the near future, so go and see it whilst it is still there. Berwick barracks were the first purpose built barracks in the UK, between 1700 and 1800.
