So, I think we're saying the same thing.
Essentially...but I would argue that it is a badge, since the crest belongs to the chief as part of his arms. The chief's crest becomes a clansman's badge when the buckle & strap is added.

An armiger may wear his/her crest as a badge as well, but with a plain circlet -- no buckle & strap.

And, whenever the badge is displayed on stationary, literature, etc. the statement Cirean Ceann Cinnidh or "The Crest of the Clan Chief" is normally added.

But again, I'm being picky.
