1-D shoulder title query

[mooke07]

Hi all,

In a rush of blood to the heart and not head I bought this pair of shoulder titles today. I had congratulated myself before I looked in Westlake that I had got an early pair of 1st Royal Dragoon or 1st Dragoon Guard shoulder titles. Now I am less cocky.

Westlake notes the use of letters L, D, H with numerals but no mention of 1-D. 1 RD and 1 DG but no 1-D. Certainly there are titles linked like these with a horizontal 'hyphen' bar eg D-G.

Are they just not in Westlake or Australian or Canadian but have not made a regimental title fit as yet.

Assistance appreciated, cheers Dean.

Any use?

Dean, I think they are parts of larger multi-part titles. I say that because of the way the lugs are mounted, horizontally rather than vertically, if you get my drift. I'm not sure who would have worn multi-part titles with 1-D in them but I don't think they are 1st Royal Dragoons.

Thanks lads - will hang on to them and am sure one day I will find an obscure reference to them, they could well be part of a larger title and I hadn't considered that, cheers Dean

good evening,

I found it there some time a remnant of "title" is a bit like with some British button.

front :


back :


size :
large : 17,05 mm (all) - 9,72 mm (only the "D")
hight : 12,40 mm (only the "D")

weight : 1,77 gr

in the first time, I think to the Dragoon Guards shoulder title D-G.

maybe a Canadian shoulder title?

thank's a lot for your answer.

sorry for my English.

regards

Michel

I think they are Canadian Dragoons but will require more research and yours is as well Michel
