Very nice,
I have a Beach Ordnance Title as given to me back in the early 80's by its wearer, its 'twin' is in the D-Day Museum in Southsea since 1984 (now renamed the D-Day Story and reopened in 2018) I later bought an Officers Patrol Jacket (No1 Dress) from a house clearance, badged to an RAOC Captain with Shoulder Boards with Gilt rank stars, Gilt 'Kings Crown' Collar Badges & Buttons dating it to pre 1947 - In its top pockets were a pair of Blue on Red RAOC Shoulders Titles and in the other a pair of Red on Blue 'Beach Ordnance Titles. I paid a massive sum of £5 as the tunic was ripped & moth eaton in parts so I bought it for the badges & buttons only. It was indeed a bargain even without the shoulder titles. As a Staff Sergeant AE the owner was part of 44 Ordnance Ammunition Company, part of 12 Beach Ordnance Detachment RAOC on Sword Beach. Last edited by Mike_2817; 10-06-22 at 08:02 PM.

Normandie, Some very nice badges. Truly enjoyed seeing them.
Mike, sounds like one of those genuine bargains for sure. I have always treasured named/ID'd items, as they allow for a little more hisotrical background. Terry

Lovely genuine Liverpool Irish officers cap badge.
( I am of the opinion genuine ones were only ever die cast and not die struck ) P.
