Question "ROYALS" Shoulder Titles (measurements)

Hi All

1RD "ROYALS" brass shoulder titles

I have a pair of looped titles (Post 1952?)
L = 4.9 cm x H = 1.1 cm


What is the length and width of the "ROYALS" c1921-52, are they longer and taller than the above?

Also the same question for the "ROYALS" Anodised Aluminium versions post 1960 (does anyone have a spare pair)?

Also, photos of the Royals during WW2 show only the Officers wearing shoulder titles on active service....... did the officers have thier own pattern?

Hello Griff,
I have this one, I assume this is the one you are referring to, not my field of interest this one measures slightly over 49mm by 11.5mm high.
Are these the lug type you have? The badge is yours if it is of any use to you.
Best Regards Tony.
