Sean,
That eagle has been discussed many times on the Forum without positive identification, and I think may feature in the MM catalogue? https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ighlight=Eagle Tim

Here is my badge again, different angle showing its deep vaulted form, from that old thread. There appears to be several variations, your bronze example one that I cannot recall seeing before.
The idea was, or is, that they may be an arm badge for Royal Irish Fusiliers NCOs, but I don't know if this is confirmed. Mine and some others show definite age, and while I don't know if Martin Marsh made some or not, at least some of these don't seem to be fakes or restrikes. Still a mystery as far as I am aware. CB

Never worn in bronze by the Royal Irish Rangers. Perhaps an unfinished badge, not yet silver plated ?

I dont think it is an unfinished badge. It looks properly bronzed and intended that way. The mystery continues....
