West African - GCR Gold Coast Regiment Brass Shoulder Title
Normally found adjoined to either a WAFF or RWAFF shoulder title (see my item 54614), this stand alone title does not appear in Renfrew. It could of course be something other than Gold Coast Regiment, any information welcome. Two original loops, one fractured and twisted around on itself, otherwise in good condition. Sold as seen.

The badge post war kept the same design but changed the title to read "KAAPSE KORPS". Circa 33mm in diameter. Sold as seen.
