Default Irish Guards in Royal Irish Regiment

I had already seen this picture before and have thought that everything was possible with British Army headgears : an Irish Guards officer with RIR caubeen and IR officer cap badge and TRF.
Today, a British relationship is proposing to sell me exactly the same caubeen.
I think it is rare and tempting. But I would like to have your wise advice.

Thank you. Laurent

The Caubeen is still in usage and not rare, though aquiring a new one will require shaping, which is just too hard to explain how to get it right! All the best billy

As I understand it, it's a pretty unique piece.
Go for it!
