Only issue now is that I see someone has coated it with acrylic or something to keep the silver from tarnishing. I've heard this suggested before, for large silver collections but I don't think a little cap badge is too difficult to polish from time to time.

I haven't polished mine at all. I like the patina/ tarnish it's developed because it's shows that the badge is 1) old and 2) real silver...

Dram, I purchased a run of the mill clan cap badge in 2001 which is 2" x 1.75" I purchased one last year which is 2.5" x 2". Looks like clan Badges are going the same way as MacDonalds "Can I supersize that Sir"

I guess you're right. Doesn't seem to be a standard cut and dry size.
