Condition and Collectability
The badge shows signs of age and wear, consistent with its age. The metal exhibits some tarnishing, and there may be minor imperfections.

The inclusion of Chinese characters adds an unusual and intriguing element, potentially indicating a connection between a Scottish regiment and Chinese forces or culture.
