Default Unknown hackle any ideas?

Dear Forum

Can anybody identify this hackle which recently came with a large mixed collection of medals and badges. It is green over black.

I have scoured all my books and cannot find it. Interestingly it has some age as the paper sleeve that has protected it says 1st Battalion 1917 on it

The Dublin Fusiliers wore a green over dark blue as far as I am aware.

Hi,

The Queen's Own Nigerian Rifles wore this colour combination in the 60's.

Regards,
