Royal Highlanders (The Black Watch) Simplified Glengarry 1917
Category:
£175.00
A well worn simplified glengarry badged to the Black Watch. Simplified Glengarries were introduced in late 1914 (model 8160/1914) as a wartime economy measure. The simplified glengarries had no dicing and the calfskin band was replaced by a grained cotton band. Most had paper maunfacturing labels and in the two examples I have encountered an a white WD stamp. This example has the remains of the WD stamp and its paper label for 1917. It is well used with some personal tailoring to give it a closer fit. The tails remain but are fragile. Ghosting of the badge is visible on the headband.
