Having a Scottish family name and interest one of my areas of interest is collecting and displaying Regimental badges and tartans as used in Commonwealth forces for the last 150 years. I can then also develop additional / duplicate items for sale and trade.
So here we deal with the commonly found regiments with badges and tartans - also information on spotting fake /replicas to hone your living history impression or collection.
There are around 3x more, but I keep this list to the most commonly encountered (non South African, Australia or New Zealand)
