I think you may find that number 12 is a reproduction.

The title at number 12 - The letters are poorly aligned. Here is a better example.

J, I note you have 9 anodised alluminium OR's cap badges - including the made black example (unmarked slider) which is very rare.
I have the same amount, however the badges marked TKS (in a box) and the 'fat' FIRMIN mark are made for the Royal Irish Regt and not strictly for UDR (worn in the green beret). I have an example in a bag (see attached) made after 1992 dated 7/6/05. Bess |
