It is actually a royal Irish regiment kilt ornament ( despite the slider), still issued, not a bad buy at £3.50, probably worth about a tenner, regards Paul L

Paul,
sorry not this one, the kilt badges are lugged! This is an example of a genuine anodised cap badge and worth quite a bit more!

This is a RUR cap badge possibly worn by TA or cadets. Definitely not a kilt badge of the Rangers or Royal Irish, as Andy said "no lugs". A nice badge and a very good price.

Tony,

A nice badge.

I have recently acquired the 2 parts of "The Regiment" magazines that deal with The Royal Irish Regiment, in one part there is a great picture of a Pipers saffron kilt with 3 green shamrocks along the edge on which are mounted the badges of The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, The Royal Ulster Rifles and The Royal Irish Fusiliers ( as mentioned in the earlier posts ). What a great way to perpetuate the memory of those regiments.

Peter

Hi Tony,

A very nice item exhibiting all the characteristics of an early Timing's piece. Unfortunately I never found out when the first badges were authorised but I would say at least very early 1960's or even before.

A real steal at 3.50 GBP and suggest that if you are going to get into A/A pieces that you keep this one in the collection.

Regards

Chris

One of these was sold on Ebay in January 2006, for £34.

Best regards to all.

You could probably ask for twice that for one in good condition and be inundated with offers!

value wise this has to be my best ever buy, it was on a card of aa badges, the others I already had. The RUR was the cheapest!!!
Happy days Tony.
