Gents, I've been following this thread and am enjoying the information presented. What's confusing me as it seems some don't like it because the construction doesn't conform to other examples.
Like most collectors of rare insignia, I first look at the construction and appearance of the piece and when I first saw this title the construction looked to be original with embroidery through the rear stabilising material as seen on many WW2 titles. The front lettering is also neat and in the correct colours. Not a clear sign of originality but this title also has a nice age to it. Attached are some rear photos of similar manufacturing techniques
I'm lucky to have a number of titles to the same Units ie 10 Cdo and it's rare to have two titles made in the same way. Is the expectation that all 52nd titles must be made the same way?
Lastly, I don't own the title so am not trying to justify a purchase but just want to learn why the title in question is getting negative feedback.
Happy collecting
Paul
