    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.
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Paul -- could you post some of those links perhaps? I collect IDF insignia.

    Sure thing! My friend's uncle had a genuinely issued army cap badge from a couple of decades ago, however, he ended up giving it to his cousin who also collects such items.
    Here's a few things I can find just now.

    A good quality reproduction badge:

    Cheaper reproduction:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Irish-Army-Enl...item519015d8c9

    Irish UN badge reproduction:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Irish-Army-U-N...item518fd62566

    This seller has a lot of patches. I don't think they are millitary issues though:

    Check out this seller's GENUINE variety of Oglaigh items:
    http://shop.ebay.co.uk/finnyus/m.htm...&_trksid=p4340

    A couple of genuine medals:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Irish-Army-Eme...item1c1019a8c8

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Irish-Army-Med...item2c5311f3de

    Hope this helps!
