Border Regt prtd authentic
Purely on the basis that these titles are post WW2 and were authorised to both the S. Staffs and Border Regt in recognition of their involvement in Op Market Garden I would say that they are not, in my opinion, the real thing and just another of the printed copy titles that are appearing on the market at the moment.
Although printed titles were still in use after WW2 I suspect it was because there were large stocks of them already made that had to be used up. It was not the case that new titles were being manufactured in a printed format.
I can't find the Army order that authorises this type of title but I think it dates either late 1940's or early 1950's. At that stage printed titles were no longer being made.
Cheers
