Default Tyneside Irish- Opinions Please
Hi All,

I've just picked this Tyneside Irish badge up, obviously I'm hoping it's ok, any thoughts?

Michael

The void between the crown and the neck of the harp is a good sign, Michael. Looks like the correct EW fastenings have been replaced with NS ones, but otherwise OK to my eye.

It's a good original cap badge so nothing to worry about! PY.

Hi All

I believe this was a shoulder title (Denis Wood #480) and the Tyneside Irish wore the Northumberland Fusiliers Grenade badge as a cap badge.

Cheers, Tim

That was my understanding, although there are photos of the badge being worn on the cap.

Leigh is right although I have ever only seen one of it in the cap but many, many more of the standard NF badge with the harp as shoulder titles. I have seen at least one studio photo of the titles being worn as collars.

Has anyone got a photo or link to it being worn as a cap badge? Be interesting to see. I’d only seen shoulders and one pic on collars before now.

Default Lugs
The early Reid & Sons issues all had lugs e-w, later issues during the war are found with n-s lug layout. Although this one has been relugged.
