IRISH VOLUNTEERS BADGE
A white metal Irish Volunteers lapel or collar badge, showing a harp above crossed
rifles and the letters ‘I.V.’. According to family tradition, this badge was worn by
Thomas MacDonagh during the 1916 Rising. The vendor’s family has connections
to Nurse Elizabeth O’Farrell, who carried the surrender message to Gen. Lowe from
Padraic Pearse at the end of the 1916 Rising. We cannot confirm the attribution, but
it is in any case a scarce and attractive item.
€300 - €500
