It must be something to do with the shoulder title?

It's because the shoulder title relates to a Yorkshire unit and we all know how generous the average Yorkshireman is with his money

HELLOOOO !!!!

The shoulder title is made up of "3" different badges, and differing makers styles !!!

I saw this as soon as I looked at the things, not worth alot in my eyes or anyone elses. Just look at all the split pins to the reverse of the Shoulder titles lads

I have noticed though that the winning bidder is quite genned up on the ASC/RASC items on ebay, maybe he knows something we don't.

He won the "Yellow backed" RASC Bullion Officers (Airbourne) Beret Badge a little while back, he topped my bid by a couple of quid, so he knows what he's doing, ............... most of the time.

When parting with large sums of money, do look closely at the items before putting down any amount of money, if you're unsure, then ask a question to the seller.

If he ignores the request then don't bid !!! Simple FBK

All the shoulder titles were originally separate items that could be demanded as necessary.
