HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 2 July , 2011 Share Posted 2 July , 2011 WWW I have this Badge Issue Number "E 4163" any information gratefully received thank you in anticipation HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob elliott Posted 3 July , 2011 Share Posted 3 July , 2011 WWW, These are the badges that were recently on a well known auction site. Three of which didn't sell. Now the listing had the Tyrone and Armagh badge with the same number 4021 and i wonder if that's why they didn't sell as the one that did, the Antrim, was listed at a later date. Perhaps the numbering on the listing got people a little nervous as to them being copies. The numbers of lists that have survived is small, some Antrim & Down and a very small one for Tyrone. Are you a colector/dealer? i collect 'I' badges, Derry City. Harry, E is Londonderry County. i have never seen any list at all for this county, but if a good one your badge is quite collectable. £70 plus!

rob elliott Posted 3 July , 2011 Share Posted 3 July , 2011 WWW, I thought they should be ok as i've bought off him myself, just odd how the three disappeared but you've explained. Did you go for the large badge too? Did you see the Monaghan one, that went high enough. Des may be able to help with the Antrim number, he did get one for me. I have a few lapel badges for Antrim and Down and am getting a good bunch for Derry City. Will do swops of any i have for 'I' badges. Got a couple of UVF photo postcards of individuals too, as well as about 15 armbands [none too rare]. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWW Posted 3 July , 2011 Author Share Posted 3 July , 2011 Hi no I bought the fist antrim one he posted and the 3 other ones so 4 in total. I saw the mongahan it went for somethng like £180 which is quite high but it is one of the rareest badges due to the lower number of volunteers in Mongahan.

rob elliott Posted 4 July , 2011 Share Posted 4 July , 2011 WWW, About 20 years go i picked up 11 Co Down ones in one go. I only have five of those left now, numbered 4603, 4605, 4606 ,12364 & 12365. Got a nice Antrim one, A400, polished to a shine like its brass. There is quite a lot of Donegal & Tyrone paperwork about at the moment Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanCurragh Posted 4 July , 2011 Share Posted 4 July , 2011 (edited) I initially closed this thread but have been reminded of the close historical links between the UVF and the Ulster Division, so I'll re-open it.

jonathanb2701 Posted 16 November , 2014 Share Posted 16 November , 2014 Dougie, your number and letters should be stamped on the horseshoe type fixing, on the rear of the badge, made to attach through the button hole on a coat or jacket. The letters Cs and number, denote the owner as being a member of the South Belfast Regiment UVF. { Cs = City south } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob elliott Posted 24 January , 2015 Share Posted 24 January , 2015 Dougie, Just for clarification the letters Cs do not stand for City South. It is for Belfast South but the lettering of the UVF badges is in alphabetical order by county/district, therefore A - Antrim B - Armagh C - Belfast [as in UVF terms it was classed as its own area as was Londonderry City - 'I'] then with addition of a small n,s,e or w D - Cavan E - Londonderry County [as D for Derry County alphabetically] etc Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Resnick Posted 24 April , 2015 Share Posted 24 April , 2015 Hello from New Zealand. I have just created this account to ask a specific question following a long online search, so I hope nobody minds. I inherited a 36 Ulster Division lapel badge numbered Cs 2547. Would anyone be able to tell me who this was issued to? Thank-you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob elliott Posted 26 April , 2015 Share Posted 26 April , 2015 Resnick, Hi, the badge you refer to is an Ulster Volunteer Force pre war lapel badge not a 36th Ulster Division WW1 badge. The C stands for Belfast and the S for south, so it is a south Belfast Regiment membership badge with the mans number on it. These would be logged in a membership roll book. The rolls for Belfast no longer exist as far as we are aware so it will not be possible to trace the owner. I have researched the UVF for some years and was with one of the most knowledgeable guys in Belfast last week going through what is left of the member rolls [none for Belfast]. Do you know who it may have come from? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Resnick Posted 28 April , 2015 Share Posted 28 April , 2015 Rob, thank-you for the reply and the information, much appreciated! I have (very gratefully) inherited the badge from a relative in Belfast as I had shown an interest in his medals and badges when I was a child. I don't recall ever being told who the badge originally belonged to. Next time I am back home I will try to investigate its exact origins, but I’m afraid the information has probably gone with the previous owner. Kind regards, Resnick.

Guest Captain Scott Posted 3 December , 2015 Share Posted 3 December , 2015 Hi, I have been reading through this post. I have two original lapel badges one belonging to each of my grandfathers. From the information I have read here they are from 1913, small numbers being 624076. Is it possible to confirm who They belonged to with the serial numbers being E 3493 and E 5576. I know the E indicates Londonderry county. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinards Posted 10 August , 2016 Share Posted 10 August , 2016 Hi Folks Also looking for assistance. I've a UVF lapel badge with H135 on the horseshoe clip. I don't even know what town/county the H relates to. Thanks for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
