It is postwar, that is why it is still available after all those weeks online.

Most importantly, the letters are applied to the green fabric before it is stitched to the green backing cloth so they are not visible from the rear.

Border Title WW2
Hi ccfc,
I've attached the "wrong" version that Luc mentioned for reference. As you can see the letters are stitched through the purple backing cloth. BDR-TITLE-2-1.jpgBDR-TITLE-2-2.jpg Marinus Last edited by marinus; 10-03-22 at 05:09 PM. Reason: removed a word ("version") that I wrongly copied twice |

the example I have, I seem to remember being told it was a 50's version, but I can't remember why as it matches one of those shown by Luc and does not have the lettering showing on the reverse

When I looked into these designations may years ago, the colour of the thread used to join the two arcs was yellow up to 1952 when it changed to green.

border Title WW2 stitching
Good evening,
For what it's worth here's a quote from Oliver Lock's "British Airborne Insignia" (page 151): "From 1942 until 1951, members of the 1st Battalion The Border Regiment wore a distinctive regimental title. Correct wartime versions of this title were stitched to the purple backing with green thread." Marinus |

Have no real knowledge on the tab in question, but I do know that on some of the older film, the color yellow would look black or dark in black and white pictures. Not sure if that might apply here or not???
