Light Infantry Officers collars help

[Mike H]

Ive just got a pair of bronze collars to the LI. They are the large size rather than the small ones. There was also a pair of small size too.
A few questions . Does the larger pattern exist in silver or silver plate ?
Ive been told that the larger pattern was only used until 1972 ,is this true ?
The small ones are on pins that appear to have been bent to secure them. All the other LI bronze collars i have are lugged .

Mike, the large bronzes date as the large a/a and were also worn in silver/plate on No 1 Dress. The smaller bronze collars have lugs and pins - as do the shoulder titles.

Just wanted to clarify. The small collars with pins ARENT the clutch pin fittings but bend over ones.

That's right.
