Default Chindit shoulder title, opinions please

Any opinions on this? I guess its quite hard to sat with certainty with theatre made items, its listed in ebay with p'enty of detailed pictures and is very similar to one inside peter taylors book, thelettering isnt a match but as i say with theatre made items its difficult to say.
There is at least 10 mlre pictures on ebay and i would welcome some opinions from persons with more experience than myself.
Thanks in advance

Hello,

To give you some feedback, I like the construction and age of the title. As a locally made piece there's always going to be some variation when comparing to other titles shown in the books. By way of example, attached is a locally made Chindit title from a grouping in my collection. I haven't seen another one like it. Also, the seller is a well known collector on the forum with a good reputation.
Regards

Paul
