Organized in Toronto on June 27, 1876, the Sons of Scotland Benevolent Association is a fraternal association of Scottish people, their spouses, and their descendants in Canada. Its functions are to "preserve and promote Scottish heritage and culture in Canada" by maintaining Scottish historical, literary, and musical traditions, and to promote among its members a feeling of community and comradery. Additionally, the Sons of Scotland is a fraternal benefit association; membership dues entitle members to a certain amount of insurance coverage, which can be increased according to their needs. 

The Sons of Scotland was incorporated by the Province of Ontario in 1880, and by the Dominion of Canada in 1937. It is governed by a central Executive Board in Toronto called the Grand Camp, which was established in 1878 and is headed by a Grand Chief and a Grand Chieftain. Grand Camp Executive officers are elected for three year terms. The Association is then divided into districts. There are currently four districts: Toronto District No. 7, Montreal District No. 14, Winnipeg District No. 15, and British Columbia District No. 16. The districts, in turn, consist of several camps, called subordinate camps. Each district and camp is governed by an Executive Board, which is headed by a chief and a chieftain. Executive officers of district and subordinate camps are elected on an annual basis.

In addition to regular meetings, the Association organizes and hosts social events, such as dances, dinners, picnics, and games.

Please note that all items are described to the very best of my ability and with the utmost good faith: They are sold as is on the day of listing.

In terms of anything that "works" particularly , but not limited to electronic or photographic items no warranties are expressed or implied.  I carefully and thoroughly  examine all elements for evidence of fungus or blemishes and will disclose any if found without stripping the lens, be they photographic, binoculars  or other. This is the limit and extent of the examination in this regard.

With Regard to Militaria, badges in particular. I have spent a great deal of money on reference material and spend an inordinate amount of time on research to establish the authenticty of the offerings to the very best of my ability. I will state known flaws if I see or know about them. The world of Military collectors has a plethora of experts some more knowledgeable than others and opinions in many instances are at at odds one with another. I list in good faith and according to the best information available to me. My pictures are very clear. I make no claims and offer no guarantees beyond this.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Every effort is made to faithfully reproduce the actual colour of the article on offer, however allowances must be made in this regard particularly with regard to shades and hues. Shading and subtle differences will not be considered as justification  for return of an item.

NO LOCAL PICK UP OF ORDERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

I  take pride in bringing The Uncommon, The Hard to Find, The Unusual and often The Rare to the incredible eBay Market. An inordinate amount of time, effort, travel, money and an ever-growing network of suppliers have all combined to make this possible.I find, bring, research, photograph and describe a vast array of items and present them for your collecting pleasure. The small S&H fee attached to every item covers this. After five + years &  my feedback nears the  6,000 mark  & I have not tired, nor lost my enthusiasm for this fascinating quest and continue to derive a great deal of satisfaction from the happiness I bring my buyers. Some of the rare Military Items I have found are now housed in Museums at Klerken in Belgium and Cambrai in France as well as Museums in Italy and Canada.

Just a brief note on images: All photography is done using Pentax Equipment, Elinchrom Lighting and the experience of many years as a Professional Photographer. I am glad to share my knowledge and help others: just ask.
