Default Lancashire Shoulder title die

Can anyone tell me what unit this shoulder title is to and roughly what age? Its a lovely heavy tactile thing - but I can't find anything to match it Westlake. Cheers Tim

A lot of Territorial shoulder titles were manufactured in two parts and brazed together. The T/6 or T/RGA for example would be brazed onto the bottom county scroll. More cost effective than making multiple dies for individual Battalions.

IO believe this would be the County scroll for T/RGA/LANCASHIRE which was the 1st & 2nd Heavy Batteries RGA (TF) with HQ at Liverpool.

regards

Thanks Simon did not realise that the Territorial's would have been made that way but it makes sense. Cheers Tim
