An ASC shoulder title "A/ASC/LF just sole for 565 GBP on eBay - http://www.ebay.ca/itm/201666004465?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

can someone tell me what the "LF" means and why it sold for so high a price?

 

All the best,

Lancashire Fusiliers (Brigade Company, part of 1/1st East Lancashire Division Transport & Supply Column 1908, subsequently 42nd (East Lancashire)Division Column/Train.

Maybe?

(Details from Michael Young's book.)

I'm not convinced. Only a guess, but wouldn't the bottom section be the County designation, e.g. East Lancs?

Below is the best I can provide from my own collection.

I have no idea about the badge, but that is ridiculous money, surely.

Which makes it even more ridiculous.

That's the way auctions go though and obviously  the winning bidder thought the price was worth paying and so did the under-bidder who helped take the price that high.  It may be that it it is a very rare item.

You're right, of course. We probably all have something that we paid (relatively) silly money for. It's only too much if you can't afford it.

Territorial Army Service Corps titles are amongst the rarest around, and sometimes command very high prices. I live in hope that some day a T ASC North Wales turns up to complete my collection!

Cymro,

Do you have an image of one of those by any chance?

Indeed T/ASC titles are very scarce, the chances of finding these diminish every year, now genuine antiques in their own right.
