not sure what this badge is, possibly a fantasy badge.
It appears to be using a Grenadier Guards cap Badge with an Irish fusiliers Eagle attached.
Any ideas
Thanks
Chris

No i dont think so, it has the number 8 below the eagle. I think some one has used a genuine RIF eagle.

Looks like an attempt to make a copy of The Irish Fusiliers of Canada badge worn in the 1920s-30s.
