Royal Irish Regiment.
Is this badge a standard issue, pri shop or a restrike?
Made in white metal, a thick, heavy badge maker marked on the reverse Toye. I assume short for Toye Kenning and Spencer. Any comments very welcome. Thanks, John

Here are some variants in my collection of UDR/Royal Irish beret and caubeen badges. They are in gold anodised, silver anodised, new metal and new metal with green enamel, some with the wider crown.
Your badge is possibly a PRI badge made by Toye, Kenning and Spencer a firm that have used a number of different ways to mark their badges. Tim

HM EDinburgh?
Above worn from '92 until stocks ran out...£35 from PRI.
As a Pte/Rgr I wore one & nobody tumbled. The black casting sand made them a bugger to clean initially. I think most officers ran with an issue badge oddly enough.

Thanks for that. I have added the detail to the example in my Album.
