Title Duke of Atholl's clan badge
Nationality Scottish
Period c 1900-20
Sold

The Duke of Atholl was the only man in Britain allowed to raise a private army, so this might well be for his unit. However, other members of his clan/family would have been entitled to wear this.

It would appear to be made of base metal with an EPNS finish and measures 4.25cm across.

Its condition is excellent for its age, with a little bleeding to the plating on the chest of the male figure. The reverse is somewhat scarred from old silver tests.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.
