Worth more as a pair?
Just a general question on cloth shoulder titles. I've a couple of nice WW2 gurkha cloth slip on titles - which I purchased to get the badge they came with. They're a matching pair - would I get more selling them singularly or does a pair attract a premium ? Not my field really!
If there is no significant premium to a collector then I might be tempted to keep one and sell the other. Any advise greatly appreciated ( free listing on e-bay this weekend! ) |

I would pay more for a matched pair, similar to collar badges. If possible I always try to keep pairs together

Mike asked me to post some photos on the forum of the titles. Actually there are two sets, both from the same source but both slightly different. According to the museums book on the 7th insignia they date very specifically from between 1940 and 1947. One of the pairs is identical to one illustrated in the booklet, the other is slightly different.

Many thanks - much appreciated. They are excellent and made in a style different to the majority of embroidered British-Indian titles of the period, characterised by a "pepper and salt" effect in the weave on the reverse.

Certainly seeling them as pairs is the best move IMHO. I tend to shy away from singles, unless I can get them at a steal.
