Canada, Commonwealth. Two Seaforth Highlanders Items

Includes:

1. Dispatch Case: in greenish-khaki canvas, the exterior trimmed in a tawny brown leather, the front cover bearing the Seaforth Highlanders insignia in silvered bullion wire, in various textures, with maroon embroidery in the King's crown, the text "CUIDICH'N RICH" on the ribbon banner in black threading, the insignia measuring 92 mm (w) x 102 mm (h), with a 20 mm (w) x 18.5 mm (h) monogram with the conjoined initials "CHC" in silver affixed at the upper left on the front cover. The inside houses two distinct compartments when opened, the left side panel divided into two areas, with three tawny brown leather items stitched in place on the exterior of the canvas panel: a framed window to house an identification card, a top-entry pocket for postage stamps, along with a strap that houses an address book with a tawny leather cover, the book with multiple pages and inscribed with a few African-based addresses in handwritten blue ink. The right side panel has a tawny leather strap that extends the full-width of the panel on its front, with a pocket placed on its underside. Both the left and right panels with a tawny leather loop for placement of a pen, the spine between the two panels marked in gold-coloured ink with a maker mark at the base but it has become illegible with age. It is finished with a zipper closure on three sides, the pull tab on the zipper in leather, measuring 230 mm (w) x 262 mm (h), exhibiting spotting and light soiling overall from active use, the black threaded text on the ribbon banner having experienced extensive wear.

2. Kilt Badge: stag insignia in silver, maker marked "SCOTT. ADIE LTD. LONDON" on the reverse, measuring 53.8 mm (w) x 60 mm (h), horizontal pinback; along with an independent "CUIDICH'N RICH" ribbon banner, measuring 58.7 mm (w) x 27 mm (h), horizontal pinback.

Fine and very fine, respectively.
