"Com A , 7 Cn Cois": Shoulder title, A Coy. 7 Inf Bn c. 1962 -1967 , Based in Mc Kee Bcks , Dublin. Not reproduced to my knowledge and probably highly desirable to an IDF collector "6 Irish Inf GRP" - served in Cyprus with UN, UNFICYP, Apr 66 - Oct 66 "11 Irish Inf Grp" - Cyprus UNFICYP Aug 68 -Mar 69. "41 Inf Bn" , UNFICYP, Oct 1964 – Mar 1965 I have not seen these titles reproduced yet but I am 20 years out of this collecting scene. John Last edited by John Mulcahy; 28-09-13 at 02:06 AM.

Hi
No.3 is the South African Signal Corps, you can just make out the S & A each side of Jimmy's feet. N0.4 is a pair of RAF Territorial Volunteer Reserve collars. The embroidered badge is Royal Army Ordnance Corps, either an officers beret or side cap badge. Cheers, Alex Quote:

Re post 48 - be careful there are several fakes there
No. 12 is not Royal Irish Fusiliers, looks like a Royal Dragoons collar badge is there a number "108" on the plinth? No. 13 is the modern Royal Irish Regiment if in silver anodized or silver improved metal. If gold AA was used by the UDR and Royal Irish Regiment. I cannot tell from the photo what the metal and colour are. No 14. If it has a slider is almost certainly a fake. It shows up pretending to be a WW1 economy cap badge to the R.I.F. or as an officer OSD. No. 16 & 17 are two more Eagle badges to the Royal Irish Fusiliers to join the thousands more in circulation. No positive confirmation of their use by the regiment and no known sightings of them in use either. No 21 & 22 are Royal Irish (Ulster) rifles and appear to be fakes looking at the scroll ends.

Ok, these three "what ever service they are" (I still don't have full picture) are going now. Just wanted to check what that number behind indicates - is it personal number and in this case are these researchable (in this case this will be a keeper!).

Timo,
As this is a canteen workers badge from WW1 I would doubt if it is researchable. Eddie |
