Cap Badge - Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, 1930s Government issue. It is stamped white metal with "L" and coronet. Type rarely worn, scarce. Badge: A stag's head caboshed proper the antlers encircling a Letter "L" Or ensigned by the coronet of a younger son of the Sovereign proper all above a scroll Gules edged and inscribed in Gaelic CUIDICH'N RIGH (Help the King) in letters Or. The badge is modelled on that of the Seaforth Highlanders of the British Army. The cypher is that of Leopold, Duke of Albany (1853-1884), fourth son of Queen Victoria, ensigned by his coronet. From Colin Stevens: When Lieutenant Colin M. Stevens showed one of these to Brigadier J.A. Clark about 1974, he said in effect "That damned thing!" Ottawa came up with it but we refused to wear it. Only the officers wear the L and coronet." The badge shows up as the "official" badge but it is the wrong badge. In the mid-1970s, there were not enough Seaforth officers' 3-D silver cap badges so some junior officers made do withn this one. One junior oficer wore this stamped pattern badge (with the antler tines bent outwards)
