Brass Bugle Cap Badge

Can anyone identify this badge please? Suggestions made so far include Rifle Volunteers and a possible Irish connection.

Jon,

As I said in a recent post even the late Hugh King had a number of badges, including bugle horns of various designs that he could not identify and had a couple of articles in Crown Imperial and the MHS Bulletin seeking identification.

Copy of his article in CI 96 of Autumn 1999 attached.

I think your badge is most likely to be a Rifle Volunteer badge but for which County ?

Thank you. The search continues.

The rifle Volunteer movement never made it to Ireland, we stuck with the old militia system.

The numerals look colonial in style to me???

Regards,

Dave
