A and SH - Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders White on Red Woven Felt Cloth Shoulder Title
In very good condition, white mesh hessian backed. Some glue and paper traces to reverse. This is the scarcer pattern with "and" in place of "&". Pre 1943 and most probably an officer's issue given the existence of the economy printed version.
Davis No 346 refers (he categorises it as very rare).
BoBD 2879 (printed version) refers.

South Lancashire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Volunteers) Officers Bullion Collar Badge
Has some wear to it and a bit of damage to top left of tallest plume, but a well made padded item with a combination of sequins and bullion wire. Really would have been a bobby dazzler in its day. Blue cloth ground behind the 'ich dien' is evident but also now a bit grubby. This looks like an early one. The pattern for this was sealed in 1881.
