| | | Harp Badge
Evenin',
I'm after an Irish Harp badge for my Caubeen that has a slide instead of lugs and a pin (so's I can fit a hackle easy), that isn't British Army (i.e. doesn't have a crown surmounting the harp) any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Regards

Hi Radge. Here's a one that I found on ebay that should be the correct size (is is made for your hat, so should support your hackle): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IRELAND-HARP-I...item2a02e01fe1
This may be a little small, but looks great: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/925-Sterling-S...item3ca9fe5ca0

Also - have you seen the Oglaigh na hEireann badges on ebay? I'm not sure if this is also what you'd be looking for.

T. | Yes. I was wondering if Radge was indeed looking for something to represent the Irish Defence Forces, or generally just looking for an Irish harp badge without a crown.
As I said - I don't know if this is what he's ultimately also looking for, as they're hard to find on ebay depending on search terms used. If so I would direct him towards the seller.
