King's Regiment Brass Shoulder Title

Material: Brass
Size: 50mm (width) × 12mm (height)
Description: The specific item is an authentic other ranks' metal shoulder title manufactured for the King's Regiment (Liverpool) of the British Army. The design is beautifully minimalist, spelling out the unit moniker in bold, capitalized block letters with integrated horizontal support bars linking the bases of the characters. This piece forms a soft crescent shape designed to fit comfortably along the curved upper seam of a service member’s tunic epaulet. The reverse side features two distinctively durable, factory-cast hexagonal-shaped attachment lugs, which were secured to the uniform using a standard split-cotter cotter pin to hold it firmly in place during hard field deployments.
Circa: 1902-1958
Notes:
While many early First World War variants utilize thin, round copper wire lugs or flat square loops, the presence of thick, distinctively hexagonal-shaped cast brass lugs is a definitive diagnostic signature of intermediate to late-period production lines heavily utilized by premier London contract makers like Firmin & Sons. This specific title saw extensive service across both World Wars, traveling globally from the trenches of the Western Front to the Jungles of Burma with the Chindits, until the unit was amalgamated into the King's Regiment (Manchester and Liverpool) in 1958
