Very sorry but it’s fake.

....not my find, it was Rob's... a small collar size motto with slider that was made for the 17/21L FFScap made by LUDLOW. It appears that LUDLOW copied the Gaunt pattern to make it.

The only "LONDON LUDLOW" marked Motto I have ever seen.

Not one item, but have added a few items to my Liverpool VTC collection and rearranged the display.

Default Find of the year

I did buy a job lot of mainly military items which included this LDV armband, there was still an auction label attached to it from Bosleys.

One of my best this year for my India-Burma collection. Not particularly rare but they do not turn up that often. It has been on my ebay saved search list for over a year and is the only one that came up during all that time.
