Feather bonnet identification

[PIPER ERN]

Hi all:
I recently obtained a piper's feather bonnet from a fellow in Saskatchewan who said it came from an estate sale with some other uniform items from the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada. Can you help verify that and/or give me some ideas as to the date/era that it was manufactured? There is a small leather loop on the left side into which fits the (white) hackle, and there are two small vertical slits cut into the red/white dicing on the same side into which the attachment prongs of the hat badge are inserted. The sweat band is heavily worn as is the leather chin strap. Any information would be most helpful.

Not that I can help, but pictures would be helpful to those that can help.

PIPER ERN there are file size limitations on images posted on XMARKS such as .jpg .jpeg .bmp and .png . you may not be aware so this is probably why your pics aren't appearing ... here is the URL that explains file size in KB and or dimensional size such as 640 x 480 or 1024 x 1024 http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/n...ent.php?values[t]=91202&contenttypeid=1&poststarttime=1471766552&posthash=f0ae25029672a985fe03b3853e084624 ... the 'manage attachments' link which this URL points to is found toward the bottom of each reply window

Hi Ern.

Here's a thought about pix on XMarks:



There are other ways as well, but this is my preference. As also pointed out, the size restrictions may also be a problem.

I'll try attaching a pic as an inserted file. The file sizes are fine.....
