Garbutt and regimental number 21/35and the battalion he was then serving with, 19th DLI.

Scarce Tyneside Scottish ( NF / DLI / Black Watch. Royal Artillery ) Tug of War Team Embroidered Sports Singlet Badge

Impossible to date to either WW1 or WW2 as the raised foot of the lion was used on badges of the Tyneside Scottish in both of these wars. So potentially of Northumberland Fusiliers, Durham Light Infantry, Black Watch or possibly Royal Artillery interest too! It has some moth nibbles to side edges. It is old, well made and tug of war was popular in the trenches in the First War. One of three fou...  read more

Apparently this is a RAF issue recovered from the seabed. This is completely seized up so no need for a firearms licence and I cannot see any markings. Painted with black...  read more
