WW1 - 5G 5th Gurkha Rifles (Frontier Force) Blackened Brass Shoulder Title

An early title, predating the granting of the title 'Royal' in 1921. Worn from circa 1894. Circa 15mm tall and 28mm wide. Would originally have been all blackened, but this appears to have been cleaned back mainly to the brass. Two original hexagonal fixing loops to the reverse. In good worn condition.Gurkha Museum Publication 'Insignia of the Royal Gurkha Rifles (Field Force) Figure 5GR F7 refers.Comm EdBr
