19 / VR / Middlesex one piece shoulder title (later 9th London Regiment)

The 27th St Giles and St George's Bloomsbury or GGB became the 19th Bloomsbury's in 1880 and was in 1908 amalgamated with the 1st Victoria Rifle Corps to be come the 9th London Regiment.

This is a bronze shoulder title in good condition with three original loops to the reverse. It appears to have been blackened at some point but this has been worn off. Most of their badges were blackened as they were a rifles regiment. This title was worn until 1908.
