“All Ranks” badges are a fairly recent innovation and mainly produced in the “Options for change” period of the mid 1990s. As far as i know there is no issued “all ranks’ Royal Irish Rangers badge, but there is one for the Royal Irish. All metal Royal Irish Rangers badges are most likely to be PRI (unit shop) badges which would have been worn in preference to the issue anodised badge.
