Republic of Ireland 1916 golden badge

[Noor]

Hello all,

I spotted this badge and I would like to find out what it is - does any of you have came across with this gold/green enamel badge before? It is shamrock shape, year 1916 and letters OT (any ideas what for these can be stand for?)

Thanking you in advance,

Noor

Very interesting. I hope some other members can add some info.

Dear Noor,

One hypothesis advanced on this badge was that it was for members of a 1916 veterans association named after Oscar Traynor.
