Irish Connection ?
Hi Kevin.
First of all may I say what an excellent item this is, and one which I am sure any collector would be glad to have.
However, I am a little puzzled by the Irish Harp, since (according to my records) the badge for the Royal Invalids from 1747 to 1831 was the rose and thistle !
Could it be that this was perhaps a regiment on the Irish Establishment which shared the same title, or was there indeed an Irish connection ?
Regards. Jeff
