Ox & Bucks Light Infantry Brass Matched Facing Pair of 2 Piece Shoulder Titles

Pair of early pattern brass two-piece shoulder titles, " Bugle / Oxford." Worn from 1907 by other ranks and retained by the 2nd Battalion until 1914, whereas the 1st Battalion wore a different pattern (Westlake 1177) from 1908 (see also my item 60807). A matched facing pair, with all fittings present and correct (one top lug on one bugle slightly squashed but functional).

Scarce Tyneside Irish Shoulder Title - First Issue - maker marked Reid & Co Newcastle-on-Tyne

A gilding metal shoulder title central device (it would have had a single NF (for Northumberland Fusiliers ) and battalion number above (24, 25, 26, 27 or 30). Locally made for the Tyneside Irish in the early days of the First world war by the local goldsmiths, Reid & Co. Still in Newcastle to this day!
Sadly this one has been relugged with some heavy looking copper strips (e-w), still a rare badge and condition reflected in price.
