Certainly looks Irish in origin...

Is it possibly missing an overlay?

Default irish ?

There is no indication of there ever being an overlay on this badge the center of the dome is slightly flattened like it might be a litle damage but smooth & no sign of brazing or silver solder.
I've seen one if I remember right where there was an overlay. Thanks Adam for your opinion, anyone else out there with an opinion or a fact. Ray
