FORESTER

The ribbon has been sewn along the lower tapered end to form a sash to go around the wearers neck.
In total the ribbon is 108.0cm long by 5.6cm wide, with the central design being 19.0cm long.
The remainder of the sash is of a uniform green colour, and is not shown.

Other comments:
Rather than weaving in their name, Slingsby tended to stamp it on the back of his silks, using ink. This was in the form of a large oval, with the Diamond Registration mark inside.

There is just such a stamping on the reverse of this sash, on which is written round the outside of the oval:

" H. SLINGSBY MANUFACTURER NUNEATON "

The Diamond Registration mark contained within this oval has the date of registration on 26 February 1874.       Day: 26   Bundle: 5 Rd Year: U (1874)   Month: G (Feb)

At some stage, the central design of this sash has been made into a bookmark type ribbon (20.0cm long by 5.5cm wide), with a pin sewn into the top turnover, so the ribbon could be worn as a badge. This bookmark is recorded as osl 222 on this site
