Irish Regiment of Canada 1st Pattern
Picked up this 110th Irish Regiment cap badge recently. With a number of the harder to find Canadian badge being faked. Is this badge being copied ?

Rare badge. There is no record of copies being made to date.
This my example.

Thanks Bill.
I have another example which is in a red brass with a bronze finish. (its in storage, so cannot post a pic now) It has flat type lugs (I believe associated with the maker Ellis ?) But not sure if its an officers badge, or an OR's by a different maker. Danny |

The flat lugs are associated with Ellis and being the Irish Regiment was raised in Toronto that is consistent. I am not sure what an officer's pattern badge would be for them? Would it be silvered?

Not 100% sure. I have a silver plated 1st pattern collar. Been told by a Canadian collector that it was probably worn by the band.

Picked up another but with lugs north and south. Been advised all are good original badges.
