    • Belt Buckle - All three are different. Central space is circle, oval and rectangle.
    • Plaid Brooch - Banchory and yours match, the STA/BRHS is different.

    It's interesting that there appears to have been no standardisation. It would be fascinating to compare other sets from the period.

    The pics are attached to the thread (paper clip in the sub-forum next to the post). Don't have time right now to download & insert into a post.

    OK Rab1, the vBulletin software that X Marks uses requires that you insert images within "Image Brackets" "[image]".
    These may be from your home computer, but better yet from an on-line image hosting site like postimg.cc.

    But the image must be within the brackets.
