Default Harp Boss
Could anyone ID this W/m or Silver Blackened? Harp FACING RIGHT badge, fixed by two wires top and bottom onto a Green Boss.
Could it be London Irish? (Pipers)? As I Have seen some pipers cross belt badge have the Harp facing this way. Thank You. Tim

London Irish officer's badge. Probably converted from a collar badge. Worn by bugler's also?

Did the Liverpool Irish officers wear something similar?

Hi Keith, The Liverpool Irish boss badges are the Maid of Erin sometimes called the Angel Harp style,

The London Irish boss badges are always the Tara Harp style (no boobs)

best regards John
