Happy St Patricks day, Canadian Irish
In honour of the Irish, here is a cap badge from the Canadian Irish Regiment, Birks marked on a Canadian made caubeen.

Aussie PM, Tony Abbott, was told-off by the Irish PM for wishing the Irish a Happy St. Pat's Day and saying he'd love to share a Guinness with them. I once mentioned Guinness, but I think I got away with it . . .

What does the inside of your caubeen look like? I have one with a post 53 Irish Regiment of Canada badge, but the caubeen looks older. Other than the size and the remains of a diamond shaped plastic label there are no markings in mine.

Caubeen
It is marked A.B. Hewer Toronto, hard to read and photo the inside.
No date but has the C Arrow. |

Nice example of a Hewer. Mike, a quick observation if I may, that current configuration does not make sense. Since you have a hackle on it, you must remove the touree....
(don't remove the touree) Looks great.
