No 4 and No 10 Commando Titles
Out of a recent collection of RM and Commando insignia. Two what I will call nice period titles. Not normally found here in the U.S. and am quite pleased.

Great 'designations' to use the parlance - although commonly the term 'shoulder titles' is used.
Two of the more difficult red on blacks to find - commanding high prices in the UK and on the Continent (given French connection with No.4) Mike

Thanks fellas, my small title collection has grown a little recently. There seems to be plenty of 5 and 6 commando titles about, not sure the reason. Others designations are a bit more difficult.
There is no rhyme or reason as to what I find here in the US. This last collection was put together by a US Merchant Marine Officer who travelled post war and many years after. He actively sought out insignia shops when in ports around the world. In addition to British there was French, Vietnamese and many other countries to which his service took him. He would ask if the shops had old and obsolete pieces no longer on display and would also purchase these when possible. Best Jack
