Default slip on 1st Punjab titles
A couple of hand embroidered 1st Punjab slip on strip titles. They do not look too convincingly, and they really differ form the usual worsted version (I have enclosed a specimen Rajputana Rifles title for reference), so what's your opinion, gentlemen? Thank you in advance!

They look fine to me - made by a tailor in the bazaar as opposed to being the Ordnance issue RAJPUT title. Mike

Yes, lovely work. The best kind of Indian work, as opposed to the far more common 'sand cast' metal work made of melted down teaspoons and finished with a wood file! Thanks for sharing.
