    • Appears to have been made up by an Early IRRS member, I’m sure I’ve seen photos of it somewhere, but it’s like the Mandela effect, can’t find em anywhere now!    some more pictures below 
    • The IRRS cap badge is a strange one, something someone made up themselves for working specials? Or a souvenir from the sales stall?
    • Design dates from 60s, post flying snail era, but used as staff cap badges until the break up of CIE into IR, BE and DB so could be 1980s just as well. Early ones were made by Quinn of Dublin, got a couple of Caxton of Kew badges from a staff member who probably was still in nappies in the 60s!
