Royal Ulster Rifles OSD Collar Badges

[MH331]

I picked up a pair of these at a local Car Boot sale last weekend they look like OSD collar badges to the RUR, can anyone confirm they are in fact RUR? Lugged to the rear with a part makers mark

thanks

That collar badge is the 5th Royal Irish Lancers not the Royal Irish (or Ulster) Rifles.

If it is a good matched OSD pair then it is arguably a much better find. Would you post a picture of the backs to show the makers mark?

Thanks John will post a pic of the reverse later

John,

as requested a shot of the reverse of the badge with the makers mark which is J & Co which is JENNENS if I recall. The other collar is not maker marked but the lug arrangement is identical. These are obviously pre 1953 but could they be WW1 period?

thanks for your help in correctly identifying them. The title of this reply is incorrect it should read 5th Royal Irish Lancers.
regards all the best for 2008
