A rare little find

[J Duncan of Sketraw]

Although out of my pocket at £180 pounds this silver cap badge dated 1850 of Duncan of Ardwonie is a rare find indeed. The Arms themselves were first recorded in the Lyon Court, Register of all Arms Scotland in 1698.



Blazon:

Gules, on a chevron between three cinquefoils in chief Argent and a hunting-horn in base of the same, tipped and garnished Azure, three buckles of the third.

Crest: A grey-hound issuing from the wreath, proper, collared Or

Motto: Vivat Veritas

Congratulations, John! It is a beautiful piece and I'm sure it will be treasured for generations to come. Bravo!
