Hong Kong & Singapore RA Shoulder titles or puggari insignia?

Most items to RA Officers all car boot find found in one tin a couple of RA.

Offucers cap badges and collars buttons and rank items .

Canadian RAMC cap badge on maroon backing and two lion badges which I will post in unknown section later.

Will be interested to hear whether members believe shoulder titles or puggari badges

Regards

I have these down as Shoulder Titles as the Pagri badges are normally HKS over RA, but who really knows what was worn.

Thank you Mark I have seen an image of this, question is did Officers wear this differently to OR's. They fit nicely across the puggari flash

This slip-on shoulder title has a similar arrangement of letters which suggests that yours may be the brass shoulder title.

Yes Belgium has crossed my mind several times but have not found the badge yet.

I believe the numbering to be important I have posted these separately in the unknown section the quality of these badges is excellent all the hand cut work not often seen.

I wonder if the lions are veteran badges, like those worn by the British Legion.

Nice examples Simon,

I notice that the Singapore based dealer (tilentique) with the curved HKSRA and the HKS/RA on red/blue backing is offering his wares again after quite a break. I'm assuming this is the guy you brought the questionable curved HKSRA title with cast in lugs from that we've discussed on the forum before.

Cheers, Keith

Keith,

I cant recall the name but it was in Singapore so probably him.

I have checked on ebay and it comes up with him but with nothing currently for sale?

regards
