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.
