£19.00 for an Essex Regiment shoulder title; did it belong to Kitchener himself?

It started at 50 Pence, so you can't blame the seller this time, just people with too much cash!

And they need to get out a bit more instead of buying everything they want off of Ebay!

Yeah, but it ended up at 27 quid. and 2 bidders only.


However, I now know the reason it's an expensive item; after examining all my various Essex shoulder titles I can see there is certainly a difference between this item and those in my collection.................very scarce blue tack.

Regards

Brian

Much cheaper but with the same break mark.

Its a good way of making money; buying Territorial Essex Regiment shoulder titles, snapping off the Ts and the numerals and selling them as standard Essex Regiment S.Ts. A bit like filing the corners of 50p pieces to make 10p coins only more so.
