OC Richard and Micric,
Thank you for your helpful comments!
OC Richard, I believe you must be right about the badge, do you have any idea where I could get one like you have pictured?
The sporran I have is an exact replica (as exact as I could get from pictures) of Mr. Millins personal sporran and it definitely did not have a stud fastener like the one you posted.
The interesting thing about Mr. Millin is that he was a Commando, one of the demonstrators at Achnacharry Castle and was not an official bagpiper. His playing on D-Day was something of a made up on the fly sort of a thing so his uniform is an interesting combination of standard items and personal things.
OC Richard, do you know where I could get some of the scarlet Military garters and hose you mention?
Bill Millin wore a Commando beret same as the other Commandos.
Once again, Thank you very much for your helpful comments!
Sincerely,
:ootd: Karl
