ryandunny Posted 24 January , 2019 Share Posted 24 January , 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Bailey Posted 25 January , 2019 Share Posted 25 January , 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandunny Posted 25 January , 2019 Author Share Posted 25 January , 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Bailey Posted 25 January , 2019 Share Posted 25 January , 2019 I'd say 1946 - 1960 is possible for the pink one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandunny Posted 25 January , 2019 Author Share Posted 25 January , 2019 Thanks. Even without the 'Royal'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Bailey Posted 25 January , 2019 Share Posted 25 January , 2019 Yes. People would work with a badge they had to hand not necessarily the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
