I think the Royal Arms is for civilian wear. Nothing like a military piece.

Not a lot of help, but when this thread was first posted I scoured eBay for a similar item I'd seen there,an item converted from a brooch to lug fittings to wear or just to sell as a "Royal Irish Regiment WOI's" wrist band insignia.
I couldn't find it but just came across the eBay item by chance - somewhat similar but not a hollow struck item. eBay item: 174454641144 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROYAL-IRI...YAAOSwytxfSrVI |

Royal Irish Regiment WO 1s badge?
Hi Leigh,
Many thanks for the eBay link which I have followed. It certainly looks very similar with the Fleur de Lys and the one large and 3 small lions in top left quarter of shield. I could not read the hallmark on the eBay one and have asked the seller for the date. This badge has always been a mystery for me so it is great to get a lead on it. Regards Denis |

There are two versions of the cap badge, I have shoulder titles and buttons as well, but I have never seen the collar badge before, very interesting.

Imperial Frontiersmen
Looking at my files I have a facing pair of white metal horses which came with the titles, cap badges and buttons. I have always put these down as collar badges and I am curious as to the badge you show as a collar, could it be an officers field service cap badge as it appears to be in gold gilt?

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your comments and interesting there are 2 versions of the horse cap badge. The little one could well be a FSC badge, I put a ? after it as unsure what it was. I presume it is Victorian with QVC crown but surprising it has a slider? Regards Denis |
