As far as am I'm aware these and collar badges weren't "re-prode", as they weren't worth the bother to the rip-off merchants. So the option of getting real titles are much more better, unless of course you're after the rarities.

They can be done, and there are at least two people doing them - but to make it worthwhile you'll want a decent sized batch of them (at least six pairs or so)

Don't worry about repro.

Check out a well known internet auction site as the real ones are sold fequently there.

Which Regt are you looking for?

Thanks for all the suggeston guys, let me tell you what I want them for. I have a repro jacket and will put brass GS buttons on it. I am doing it up for myself and will lend it to others doing black and tans and WW1. If I had a pair of not too rare shoulder titles, and repros are fine so long as they look right I would find a suitable cap badge, chevrons and maybe a cloth shoulder patch that would all tie in the the accuracy of it all, if you get my drift. When I nail down the shoulder titles I will need some advice as to the shoulder cloth patch and maybe a chevron and a service stripe.

Many thanks to everyone for your interest and patience.

Kind regards.

Tom.

Thanks for that Rob, sent him an email on the off-chance of having some of the backing plates for shoulder titles, got 8 assorted originals in the post today for £1.50 including postage, good chap :thumbsup:
