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 ? Peter

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 |
