Irish Regiment Opinions Welcome

[Neil s]

I do not actively collect Irish regiments but sometimes get them from the shoebox type lots and of course once I have them the collector/hoarder gene kicks in

Royal Irish don't like the colour of the QVC the lack of detail on the reverse the KC looks ok but don't know about the makers mark

Dublin Fusiliers again only doubts about the cap pity someone cut the lugs off the collar then drilled the panel pin holes

Leinster I think the caps look ok but I would welcome a second opinion

Munster Again problems with the caps construction of the bimetal look of the reverse of the economy and no slider don't know enough about the glengarry except they are faked

Not sure about your QVC royal iris regiment and maybe one of the munsters but plenty of nice items.
Thanks for sharing

A superb lot again! I am not sure, but I believe the small POW plume badge with brooch fitting may actually be for the KGO Bengal Sappers and Miners, not Leinster.
Shame about the Dubs collar, but luckily they are actually not too hard to find if a replacement is desired.
Just noted the black RIR and it does not look too promising.

The QVC RIR and 1916 all GM issue RMF are fakes. Others are fine.

12,000 "all 1916 GM" badges" for the RMunsters were made in 1916.


The RIF and the RDFus never had 1916 badges!


(the only Irish badges I only collect are the Lpl Irish)

I am of the same opinion. Other than these two it’s quite a good “haul”.

Thank you all for your responses especially CB the word Superb is not something I have heard from my partner when the looking at badges.

Now for Inniskilling Fusiliers I have more of their badges possibly because they didn't disappear in 1922 Caps first, don't know why the second ones lugs appear to be brass wire

The next two I don't know enough about pipers badges to have an opinion, the economy don't like it on lugs
