Title Royal Irish Rangers piper's bonnet badge
Nationality British
Period c 1990
Sold

This magnificent piper's badge would appear to be of bi-metal construction, the crown and motto being heavily electro-gilt, the harp with a silver finish. I suspect that gilding metal was used as the base metal.

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
