I think most Irish badges with the harp should be fretted between all the strings. Also the overall quality appears to be lacking.

Whatever its just an opinion.
thanks jerry!
Just because its online it does not make it correct. That aside, I am only offering an opinion which might be incorrect, it is not a badge I have studied and as I said, I thought Irish harps badges are usually fretted, I might be wrong.
As for differences, the face is different on the other badge and it has e-w lugs, not n-s as yours does.

In fact, both badges are fakes, the dropped T in ulster is a sure fire sign of a fake.

Thanks jerry, I appreciate your opinion and time!
As always!
this cap badge is somewhat of a mystery with regard to its design and manufacturer. names put forward have been Gaunt and Firmin. as far as I am aware only one pattern exists, die struck sterling silver, solid back. being relatively scarce they command a few quid.

I have always found this an attractive badge. unfortunately its original design and manufacture , like a lot of WW2 and earlier items , has been lost like footprints on the shore line.
