Irish Defense Forces Cap Badge ?

[Zardoz]

Anybody know where I can get my hands on a Irish Defense Forces "FF" cap badge, similar to the one pictured below? Not looking for expensive collectables, a new sta-brite badge would be fine, I have looked all over the interweb with no luck!

I suppose you could always go to Ireland and sign up at the recruiting office, LOL!

You could always contact Flight Sergeant Perkins of the Irish Air Corps at his web site:

He may have a point-of-contact for a militaria dealer in the ROI.

I have one in stay-brite, but it was given to me by a friend of my late cousin who was in the IDF Artillery, so I wouldn't part with it.

Good luck!

What Todd said. Or contact the Military Attache at the Irish Embassy in Washington, DC.

Great find that website as there aren't many Irish Defence Forces collector sites out there.
The Officers bronzed cap badges are really nice.

I've e-mailed Flight Sgt. Perkins before regarding my small collection of IDF insignia; he is a very friendly fellow.
