Victorian Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers Other Ranks Brass Shoulder Title

Such a scarce item, and if only all such subsequent shoulder titles worn by the regiments of the British Army could have remained items of beautiful design such as this short-lived shoulder title. A contemporary sketch shows this being worn by the 2nd Battalion in India during the Tirah Campaign of 1897 - 98. Circa 4.3cm tall and 3cm wide. Three original dark toned lugs to the reverse. Lugs slightly flattened for comfort when being worn, otherwise fully functional and in very good condition. Flag to left.
