THIS ITEM WILL BE FOR SALE, SO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM REPLYING IF THIS MAY LATER CAUSE OFFENCE. Can anyone please confirm which Irish Regiment's Pipers wore this Gm Cloak Pin? 90 x 65 mm. I am aware that the Royal Irish currently wear a silvered version. Thank in advance Andy

Irish kilt pin
Hello Andy
Subject to size, the only one I can say with confidence is The Ulster Defence Regiment. Best wishes Gordon Amendment: Ignore title; I meant Plaid brooch! Last edited by 1stTankie; 19-06-15 at 11:58 AM. Reason: Accuracy

Irish Kilt Pin
Dear Andy.
This Plaid Brooch was at one time worn by the Pipe band of 40th (Ulster) Signal Regiment post 1967. I show a version on my little web site www.signalsbadges.co.uk under the UK section. Also used by the Royal Ulster Regiment. Hope the attached photos of of some help. Best wishes Chris Walker www.signalsbadges.co.uk

UDR Brooch
The UDR brooch had a gilt finish, off the top of my head think it was pin backed. The Royal Irish brooches have four lugs, and are silver in colour. Could be an unfinished UDR brooch ?
