There is one on Buywyze for 45 quid, and been there a while:

PMS (Paget’s Massage Service) scarce WW1 brass title.

A good example on loops.

Almeric Paget Massage Corps founded in August 1914. Following the unit’s huge success it was greatly expanded and the title “Military” added by the War Office in December 1915. At the end of the War ,in January 1919 it was renamed “The Military Massage Service”.

Code: 1020086Price: 45.00 GBP

Hi

Sorry not active now, so you'll have find another party to rub you down, they were absorbed into the RAMC in early 1920's I believe.
