Default Shoulder Tite

Hi, I have a Mountain Artillery embroidered shoulder title in colours that don't ring true. I have another (damaged) in different (to me correct) colours. I am aware that India & Pakistan had Mountain Artillery but did they have different colours or is this a mock up from one of those countries? Please feel free to berate me (came in with another assortment). Best Regards, Paul

I had a genuine one a while ago, I'm not happy with the back of this. As they command a high price I suspect its a copy but I'm not an expert.

I agree with this assessment. It does not have the appearance and details of originals from this era.

Hi, Many thanks for the replies, it was the colour which first threw me. Cheers, will include in a mixed bag at a later date (on eBay, not in my shop!). Paul

The colours are correct, yellow on blue. Otherwise the individual letters are very iregular in size, and the font is too thin.

Question Mountain Artillery Embroidered Shoulder Title

Hi, You said colours are correct, what for? Are these the correct colours for India/Pakistan mountain artillery or British? Cheers, Paul
