items from a old cigar box

[Steve Mezey]

Hello all
A friend of mine from work found these items going through a deceased relatives belongings? The relative was of Irish descent so we believe the items to be maybe from Britain??
I took the photos at work rather quickly and they are not very good quality. The buttons are silver the cap badge I believ it to be is brass or bronze?
Any help would be greatly appreciated in identifying these pieces
Regards
Steve Mezey

Sleeve badge to a British army musician.

Hi Steve, the first buttons are not British, as we have not had a King Leopold.

The "cap badge" is actually British and is WW2 era bandsman's sleeve badge.

The second set of buttons would be from the Tyrol. This is a region of Southern Austria/Northern Italy. The eagle is the region's emblem, usually seen in red.

Cheers, Ade.
