shoulder Title copies

[rydal2007]

 Hi, just wondered if it was possible to purchase a copy of the 20th Battalion Lan Fus Shoulder Title ?, my Great uncle served with them in the great war.

I know you can buy copies of the VC and other medals that are rare or hard to come by but is it possible to purchase this Shoulder title ?

cheers

Not exactly what you wanted - but the closest I could find:

My great uncle served as an officer in the 20th Battalion Lancs Fusiliers - I have some information on their war - I presume that you already know of Michael Stedman's book "The Salford Pals"

Try Evil Bay??( i know the ones in the link arent Salford Pals ones )
Think original ones will be much sought and could be expensive!

I often use replica kit websites when trying to identify kit, their photos are generally clearer!

These chaps offer to copy pretty much anything!
