Default 2nd Bn Monmouthshire OSD collars

I managed to complete the pair, though I sort of had a pair before but it had been brooched so nice to get one intact. Maybe one day I'll find a good matching cap badge for them

Any chance that the brooched badge could have been worn on the FSC?

It looks good as far as I can say, but having never owned one others would be best placed to give you a definitive answer.

Am no collector of officers or OSD badges but I would have no hesitation in saying that is 100% original without any shadow of a doubt bc.

A scarce beast I do believe.
