Take the height of a Glengarry at the high point of curve 4", take the height of A&SH badge 3.25".
Take the height of Glengarry at the badge site 3.75"  assuming all black badge patches are the same position which they generally are, No other badge will fill that space, looking at the Glengarry  badge from the front of the soldier is not going to give the same image as a side on view of the badge.

Good evening,

I'm a little puzzled by BBs example, all red and white. Normally the centre row is red and blue for royal regt's, red and green for others. The tourlie on top is either red, green or black depending on regt, of course you can't tell on a B/W photo ;D ;D ;D

Finding all this interesting. As a very definite non expert I must bow to others.

Still think this cannot be A&SH badge as even with a replicated view using a real A&SH badge at exactly the same angle I cannot get it to assume the shape as in the photo. Are there any obscure badges that fit? The KOSB one looks the part but the dicing is definitely wrong.

Thanks for all your assistance.
