    Does anyone recognize this sporran badge?

    It appears to be a run of the mill Camerons style St. Andrew’s badge with laurel. This one with thistle and what look like maple leaves. What strikes me as odd is the Greek text on the lower banner.

    It appears to be the sporran badge of the St. Andrews College Cadet Corps.

    The motto ANDPIZEΣOE KPATAIOTΣOE mean “Quit ye like men, be strong,” a Greek phrase is taken from 1 Corinthians 16:13. The first word of the motto is the origin of the name Andrew, which means “manly.”
