Cap Badge ROYAL SCOTS FUSILIERS Brass WW1 era Economy sand-cast NOT in K&K ??

Description

I found  a die-cast example of this this sand-cast badge on the WWW and it was identified as a Scots Fusiliers cap badge that was NOT illustrated in the Kipling & King books
MOST Scots Fusiliers badges that I have seen are HUGE
This one (pictured beside a metric ruler) is obviously much smaller and I would GUESS to be for a Service Dress Cap
The Royal Scots Fusiliers was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed from 1678 until 1959 when it was amalgamated with the Highland Light Infantry (City of Glasgow Regiment) to form the Royal Highland Fusiliers (Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment) which was later itself merged with the Royal Scots Borderers, the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment), the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons) to form a new large regiment, the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
