5th battalion Lincolnshire Regt shoulder title.

[High Wood]

The two photographs of this shoulder title used in the description showed only the front and the back of the badge with the backing plate in place.

On receiving the shoulder title and removing the backing plate I am having doubts about it. Can anyone please offer an opinion as to its authenticity?

Thank you.

The loops look a little strange to me, there are numerous "T" titles online that are all modern copies and are sold as such, none seem to show the reverse and the "feet" can be seen from the front of the title sticking out.

This does not happen on originals as a rule.

Only an opinion Rob

Rob,

thank you for your opinion. It is exactly the footed lugs and their circular shape as well as the lack of patina that makes me think that it is a copy.

Does anyone else have any opinions on this shoulder title?

I think it might be genuine, despite the loops, although its an option that the loops may have been replaced.

I was just about to post the same, the 5 is different from the reference pictures I have of the usual suspects ebay listings. The loops look like cut down split pins with the feet filed flat.
