Default Blackened Brass Royal Irish Rifles
Can anyone pass comment as to the originality of this Blackened Brass Irish Rifles cap badge, I'm not sure.
Thanks Tony.

Tony,
does not look good to me! Genuine examples similar to this pattern do exist in Wm but not in Blk/B. The slider and non-voided scroll tails are a bad sign (non voided scroll tails can be found on good Wm badges).

Best regards

Andy

Thanks Andy, should I be looking for a 'hairpin' type slider?
Cheers Tony.

Tony,
yes and a more compact badge with a more rounded crown, HP slider to boot!
