UVF Liverpool Battalion ?
KLR pointed this E bay item out to me and as neither of us have heard of such a unit before we wondered if there was a UVF Liverpool battalion, or if it is spurious item and a figment of someones imagination ?

Thanks Malc,
I was thinking more of the UVF of WW1 but I suppose this might be the "battalion" that the badge relates to. Peter

This is a modern piece, nothng to do with WW1 or te "old UVF".
I think it's probably a fundraising fantasy from the 70s/80s Eddie |

have to agree with eddie on this. there have always been a strong irish connection with liverpool but this looks 70/80s with a pin back and not a dixie type device on the rear philip |
