48th highlanders cloth title

[lettman]

I have a feeling someone's going to tell me this isn't a genuine item, but even if it isn't, why and when did the 48th wear a light blue title like this (listed in Sexton as #367g)?

Not an authorized pattern, and no evidence has been found with these titles in wear.

[48th]

I own a few examples of this title as well as handled many over the years and I have yet to see one with any signs of ever being worn.

I have also been through all of the pictures in the 48th Highlanders museum archives and have never found a picture of them being worn. Nor the darker shade of blue title with the same shape.

The question is where did they come from? I think they are WWII era. Where they ordered and rejected because of the color or shape and never taken into wear? Who knows.

Thanks, gentlemen -- something of an enigma, it seems.
