BLACK WATCH - VICTORIAN - OFFICERS WAIST BELT PLATE - KIRKWOODS

If you were to have one Black Watch officers belt plate this would be the one to have.
Made by Kirkwoods of Edinburgh, for me, by far the best of the Edinburgh jewellers.
They made their own items rather than farm the work out to local silversmiths.
This piece is truly a thing of beauty !
Diamond cut Star of the Order of the Thistle which gives that " Glittery " appearance.
Silver and gilt 3 piece centre with no rubbing or damage.
Long scrolls extending beyond the edge of the badge.
QVC.
Gilded seeded back plate.
Makers details and their Thistle trademark to back.
Both parts of the belt keeper present.
Excellent.
Rare.
