1st VB (Brecknockshire) SWB 1895 COLLARS

[BROOKIES]

Just thought I would show these for reference.

A pair (non matching) of collars removed from a 1 V SWB uniform July 1895.

Will load up the cloth shoulder titles once removed from the uniform.

Any chance of seeing the uniform?

Why are you removing them from a uniform? Surely it would be better keeping them together.

As requested some photo's of the uniform, just got to clean of the black marks (have got about 50% of at the mo' - car break disc cleaner doing the job then blotting paper and an a hot iron).

Brookies,
What is "car break disc cleaner"??

[BROOKIES]

It a solution used by car mechanics to clean the oil/grease off brake discs on cars. Just to say there was a tar like substance on the uniform which may have come off the cross belt/pouch.

Brookies,

Most interesting , my 6th V.B. Kings Liverpools tunic has a similar mark on the front which I have also presumed is from congealed patent leather.
