A nice difficult to find un-official 2nd type 1st Battalion, The Border Regiment Airborne shoulder title

This is a neat example of a RARE and un-offical so called 2nd type shoulder title to the 1st Battalion The Border Regiment. The Battalion is famous for their action's during the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. "The coloured Border cloth shoulder title was taken into wear by the 1st Battalion in 1942. The colours of yellow and green were the facing colours of the 34th and 55th Foot Regiments. All the other battalions continued to wear the white on red title." This so called 2nd type was introduced at the end of 1944 and this example is in a perfect un-issued condition with some minor paper remants to the back.
