The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders enamel Regimental brooch 15ct yellow gold mount

The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders sweetheart bar brooch with very fine hand pierced central ‘L’ interlaced and reversed of the late Princess Louise. To the left is a boar’s head, to the right a wild cat and above the Princess’s Royal Ducal Coronet. Below a blue enamel ribbon with “THE ARGYLL & SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDERS”. The brooch is mounted in 15ct yellow gold with a platinum faced bar. On the top of the bar it has been stamped “15CT” and to the reverse the pin fastens securely in a safety style C catch. The brooch would have been made before 1932, as that is when they stopped using 15ct gold. This was always reserved for the higher quality pieces and in the case of this brooch it has then been faced with Platinum on top of the bar. The pin is stamped “9CT” for a 9ct yellow gold pin.
