Standfast Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 07/06/2019 4:28 pm Hello martino It looks to me like a Scottish clan badge. Likely belonging to a member of Clan Tait/Tate since there are no reins visible in the design. But, it could also be from a member of either Clan Hepburn or Dunbar. It's too small to be a broach. And could have been attached to a hat or something similar. Also, your English is far better than my Swedish! Report this Post to the Staff

martino New Member Sweden 5 Posts	Posted 07/07/2019 09:59 am Hey , no the back is plain so I think it must have been mounted on a hat or something? Like Standfast wrote it looks to be some clan badge from Scottland but I cant find same badge anywhere, And what is it doin in southern Sweden... ? Is it old? Most clan badges have some words in the belt but here its just a pattern. Thank you for your interest :-) Edited by martino 07/07/2019 1:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
