    MOD Kilt Labels

    I thought I'd post a couple of pics of the labels from my MOD kilts. There's been several threads and posts on both MOD and WPGs so I thought someone out there would like to see how these are labeled. There may be other labels so don't take this as all defining.

    This first one is on a boys kilt.
    QVS - Queen Victoria school
    Thomas Gordon and Sons - manufacturer
    Broad Arrow on the bottom marks it as government property.
    May 1968 - date of manufacture?

    Any info on A & S.H.O.R & Pipers would be appreciated.



    Please feel free to add any additional info.

    Argyll & Sutherland Other Ranks & Pipers -- in American terms, it is an enlisted man's kilt for a member of the Argylls.

    Regards,

    I wonder if "Musn" is short for "Musician"?
