Hankerchiefs

Hi I was wondering if anybody knew anything about these silk handkerchiefs. I obtained one today and have since found a few very similar ones online. 

 

Thanks

Ryan

Regarding the pink one, I have a similar example made just post WW2 in Berlin for sale the occupying troops. 

 

So some may not be WW1 at all.

Thanks! So there's a good chance it's WW1 OR WW2? The Leicestershire regiment got their Royal title in 1946 so I thought  it would have been made at least before then presuming it was genuine and not a knock off!... Are there reproductions of this sort of thing knocking about or is it safe to say it's genuine pre 1946?

I'd say 1946 - 1960 is possible for the pink one.

Thanks. Even without the 'Royal'?

Yes. People would work with a badge they had to hand not necessarily the latest version.
