Royal Irish Regiment Marples&Beasley
 

Gold AA Beret Badge, picked up today for a sensible price, I did not have any by this maker which I think are quite uncommon on AA badges.

By that manufacturer would the badge be UDR not R Irish?

I read in the thread on Marples and Beasley as that it us,for rir, though there was sime discussion on it being udr, though rir was considered correct.

Marloes and Bradley?:confused:

That'll be predictive text thin went it?
Always makes me sound like the 'Allo 'Allo gendarme.

Frank, in the title it is correct,which I posted on my lap top, the mistake was posted on the phone, which was obvious to Leigh and me.

This thread answers your question, probably.

Ta - the one you show has the long slim neck of the badge shown on that thread as the R Irish badge, as opposed to the squat, no neck of the one shown as a UDR.

added a Gaunt b'ham of the same basic design, though for whom is another matter.....

A Gaunt BHAM and Marples & Beasley, the latter is a noticeably pale gold.

A Dowler, for comparison, with a Marples & Beasley, although unclear in the photograph, the Dowler is a slightly paler gold than the Marples.

Nice frank...I don't have a Dowler for them yet.

Well, I have always just assumed those to be UDR.
