Unfortunately the answer is 'yes' to both questions.

Sorry Alan, its been a long day. I've edited my post, the badge in question should have the flag flying right, but I suspect the answer will be just the same.

I knew what you meant. The all w/m ones (purporting to be TF badges) are total fantasy items as well. Alan |

If however you mean a white metal example of the grenade with castle patterns such as the one in this link, then it is my belief , from my own research and others, that this is a fantasy item http://www.mournemilitaria.com/store...Cap_Badge.html The regiment had no volunteer battalions (that movement never happened in Ireland ), the militia battalions (3rd, 4th & 5th ) were issued the same forage cap badges as the regular battalions per clothing regulations. Neither is it, I believe , a pipers badge as some claim. The first official sealed pattern for Sgt Pipers & pipers was in fact the same forage cap badge as for the rank & file. The pattern is available to view at the Imperial War Museum. Shortly thereafter the regiment switched to a regimental castle design which appeared in various forms over the years. Happy to provide further details when back with my reference files if needed. John |
