The slidered cap badge is to the Royal Irish Fusiliers, the separate coronet worn above the badge is missing.
Nice item Tony.

I Slider also looks to have clipped short.
The collars were worn though out the Kings crown period. A single lug fitting was introduced for collars in the early 1950s.

All good badges, and the RIF with clipped slider doesn't worry me as it was commonly done on all badges. It may be an early one as they often had quite long sliders and has a nice maker mark. The Coronets for it are lugged and can easily be replaced.
The RIH collars show quite a bit of polishing wear, which again may lower the value a bit, but shows that they were actually worn for a long time.
The ST are good as well and were worn by the regiment for a long time, making dates virtually impossible.
