Ulsterman Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Good Lord! I have never seen one before. is it original? Was it worn as a broach?
arrestanddevelopment Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 Hi, Yes its an original. 1917 collar badge. 2" variety. Rather rare. Please see my Dublin brigade cap badge and Easter uprising group. best wishes Steve
1916IrishCollector Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 A couple of other pics of the same brooch.
arrestanddevelopment Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Can one add any other pictures of it being worn !! Thanks for the additional pics 1916irishcollector.
1916IrishCollector Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Ann Cooney in her 1916 uniform (date of photo unknown). Looks like the same badge/brooch though.
arrestanddevelopment Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 ..cheers interesting described as a collar ..but appears more like an issued lapel badge ..with the finer gold and silver versions being private purchase post 1916 badges ??
1916IrishCollector Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 I've seen them on lapels and many times worn on hats by members of CnamB.
