91ST / 93RD ARGYLL & SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDERS BANDSMAN'S DRAPE

Simply beautiful.
Circa 1949 when the Battalion was stationed in Hong Kong.
Chinese silk back cloth with beautiful hand stitched green silk thread embroidery in relief.
This is the only one I've seen of these as no doubt when back in the UK they would have been issued the traditional type and also being silk they would not have survived for long..
Hong Kong tailors details to back.
Formerly the property of the late Major Alistair " Dinky" Howman MBE.
