Default Depends on what you think of as " lovely"

The youngest age today of anyone who served in the Kings Liverpool Regiment ,based on the Regiment being amalgamated in 1958 and being say 17 when they joined, would be 76.

I wonder therefore if the maker and seller of this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-lovely-E...gAAOSwUEVYDi7i

is aware of the limited market, or is there a market from non veterans ?

As to whether the item can be described as "lovely" is a personal opinion but I cannot see the quality of the item appealing to many Ex Kingmen.

P.B.

Peter,

A total abortion. Can't even spell! Made in a country where there are no horses and where English is not spoken or read. Still, I suppose the seller has to try. He even appear to have sold one........

Dave.

Could appeal to someone as an addition to a badge proper collection or framed wall ornament (framing blazer badges of RRF and its four component regiments appeals to me), but the quality of that thing is truly horrible.
Would/could it be worn by members of cadet units wearing the old King's cap badge after the regiment's amalgamation?
