Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 17 September , 2016 Share Posted 17 September , 2016 Lancashire Fusiliers (Brigade Company, part of 1/1st East Lancashire Division Transport & Supply Column 1908, subsequently 42nd (East Lancashire)Division Column/Train.

Phil Evans Posted 18 September , 2016 Share Posted 18 September , 2016 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. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 18 September , 2016 Share Posted 18 September , 2016 I have no idea about the badge, but that is ridiculous money, surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeignGong Posted 18 September , 2016 Share Posted 18 September , 2016 But there had to be two bidders to take it that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 18 September , 2016 Share Posted 18 September , 2016 Which makes it even more ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 18 September , 2016 Share Posted 18 September , 2016 (edited) 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. TR Edited 18 September , 2016 by Terry_Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 18 September , 2016 Share Posted 18 September , 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cymro Posted 11 October , 2016 Share Posted 11 October , 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed T/ASC titles are very scarce, the chances of finding these diminish every year, now genuine antiques in their own right. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
