    Help With Cap Badge Identification, Please...

    I am seeking fellow forum members' assistance to help me to identify these three cap badges, please. As a collector of German memorabilia here in the U.S., I don't come across Commonwealth cap badges very often, so my own personal knowledge is quite limited...

    Right = I'm thinking Irish...

    Center = I'm thinking Polish...

    Left = I don't know what to think!

    Thanks in advance.

    Best -

    GREG E.

      The left one was on question about a year ago, nut I can't remeber in what Forum it was, maybe the int'l one.
      Middle is a Polish Cap Eagle before 1939, after that, there was no Polish Army and the Commies didn't used the Crown.
      The right one is Royal Ulster Rifles if my memory is correct.

        The one on the right could be WW1 Royal Irish Rifles see kk691.RMR

          the badge on the left is WW2 Polish Anti-Aircraft Artillery. The centre badge is Polish headwear eagle, WW2. This particular example is attributed to the London , UK manufacturer Spink.

            Thank You !

            Thank you the input, gentlemen. Much appreciated!

            I am happy to learn that my intuition was not too far off with regards to the cap badge with the girl and the harp. With those big boobs, I just knew it had something to do with the Irish!

            For the record, here is how I originally found these cap badges - see picture below. Brought back to the U.S. by a navy enlisted man who spent alot of time in South Africa...

              I love the posted "badges".....and the "Hate Belt" that's not a belt.....but I'd remove the US Sp 4 pin.....it looks "totally out of place" with all the rest!

              Just my opinion....but it doesn't belong there!

                Yes, I agree that the American SPEC-4 pin is very strange, but it is not the only oddball piece on the "belt." Check out the little Lenin/Stalin pin too!

                  Made In England ?

                  Would it be correct to say that this Polish Anti-Aircraft Artillery cap badge is British-made?
