T/4/NORFOLK title in w/m?
 

I can find no reference to this badge :confused:It is the same as Westlake 840, but that is I assume brass....

So, is it good or bad?

Many thanks,

Andy

WM titles were worn on pre-War walking out dress and yours is such an example.

It is original, but appears to have been scraped across the front and then highly polished to remove the scrape marks, thus revealing the sloppy braze joint.

Andy,

This is from page 57 of Ray Westlakes "Collecting Metal Shoulder titles"

P.B.

Thank you Simon.

Thanks for nudging me in the right direction Peter. Back to school me thinks :o

Regards,

Andy

Andy,you should keep this, there's not another one like it.

I take it then, that this is a fake?

The hammer is poised :cool:

Nozzer,

We already established in post 2 that it is an original badge.
It is NOT a fake, it is ORIGINAL.

Yes of course Simon, but from Andrews slightly cryptic response, he would seem to be of the opinion that this is the only one. To me that would seem to indicate that it is a fake.

I hope that he will add some more to this thread.

The comment about the hammer was tongue in cheek.

All the best,

Andy

Hello Andy,
Are the fitting's on the reverse actually made from copper as the appear to be from your photographs?
Regards Frank

They would appear to be Frank.

Hello Andy,
Yes, that is what I thought, rather odd, as is the position of the top one.
Regards again Frank

So there go Andy, you now own a very rare title indeed, which was here in Norfolk in 1962 (and on my radar since 1980) and is the only one that I have ever seen a photo off. Sadly there does not seem to be any other Norfolk ones around to compare it with at the moment.
All the best Andrew.

Andy, keep an eye out for these white metal titles as well :)

Thanks everyone :)

Nice collection Andrew, thanks for showing. I already have a W/M Norfolk title on it's own, but the T/4 had me puzzled.

Again thanks,

Andy

1962?:confused:
