Hello Bryce, I must say this brooch from the video has had me guessing! I was sitting milking the goat thinking about it & she nearly knocked the milk over! I think Joye & Wymanda are on the right track with the thistle but I`m just not sure the shape was quite right in Joye`s pic. I will try & post a bit clearer one. This brooch/badge was worn for presenting Colours to F Company of the Scots Guards at Windsor Castle on 26th April 2002. The Rose & Thistle both appear on the colours of the 2nd Battalion of the Scots Guards so the brooch appears to have something to do with the Scots Guards.
--Previous Message-- : Hi Bryce: : I use the Snipping tool that comes with : Windows - just stop the video and snip a : screen shot. : I won't bog down the thread with : step-by-step but if you have the Snipping : tool or Snagit - both are easy to learn and : use. Once you get started, you'll snip and : snag everything. Cheers. : : : : --Previous Message-- : Thanks Paisley and PJ for posting some : screen : saves. (I really do have to figure out how : to do that!) : : I was really surprised. While working on : something else, I was watching this youtube : documentary which I had not seen before and : this clip caught me eye. I had to go back a : few times to be sure, but I really could not : identify this brooch. : : I figured that the light or camera angle had : distorted it. : : I agree with wymanda in that it looks like : it could be thistle related and the clip : itself could be from Balmoral. : : I do not think it is the rose and thistle : brooch that joye suggested (although it : might have added to that mystery too). : : It almost looks like it might be in 2 parts : - maybe with some large pearls?? : : :
