Rob Bulloch Posted 27 September , 2017 Share Posted 27 September , 2017 I have a pair of titles from the 4th Cameron. The 'T' has been cut off ( Or was it a separate "T" ?) was there a set time for territorials to remove the "T"? or did they just remove the title altogether. Regards Rob B.

Jerry B Posted 28 September , 2017 Share Posted 28 September , 2017 I think later war all Terrier units stopped wearing the T, though ?I assume some continued to wear them if they had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 28 September , 2017 Author Share Posted 28 September , 2017 Jerry B Thank you for the post. I should add that the top of the "4" has a very neat finish which made me think the "T" may have been separate Cheers Rob. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B Posted 28 September , 2017 Share Posted 28 September , 2017 Remember a lot of the T over titles came as multi part items, with separate T's, numerals and unit designation, whilst others came as one piece items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 28 September , 2017 Share Posted 28 September , 2017 Westlake lists this as a one piece title T/4/CAMERON. If the 'T' was separate the so would be the '4' making it a 3 piece title. I do have a pair of T/4/SURREY titles where the 'T' has been removed....I also have a number of 'T's that have clearly been cut from such titles.

rolt968 Posted 28 September , 2017 Share Posted 28 September , 2017 Could one or both of the Ts have been broken off? I have heard that three layer titles could be broken over time. (The second removed to make a matching pair?) RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 28 September , 2017 Author Share Posted 28 September , 2017 Thank You. RM, Jerry B and jay dubaya. for your in-put. even without the "T" they are they are a nice pair. I could always get a couple of "T" and silver solder them on to the 4 over curved Cameron? Cheers Rob B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardog Posted 28 September , 2017 Share Posted 28 September , 2017 At the moment your STs are perfectly genuine- If you were to add to them it would not be a period repair -you would know that- and in the future if viewed by others it might cast doubt on them. A point of view to consider. Regards, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 28 September , 2017 Author Share Posted 28 September , 2017 Wardog, Before you posted I had a bit of a re-think, and yes I think you are correct. Rob B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
