That is an old and I do mean old, Transvaal Volunteer Force period and not post Union, Active Citizen Force, Imperial Light Horse shoulder title, good and really rather rare.

Hi Mike,

It looks like you might have a real find on your hands there. I will watch with interest to see if someone can pin a date down and/or more details.

In the meantime - any chance of a photo of the back?

Cheerio,

Roy

Frank,
Could you possibly put a date (or date range) to this title? I'll be seeking to exchange it within the Forum membership for something of equivalent rarity within my area of interest - cloth insignia 1939-1960. Thanks.
Mike
