Troubles Era Northern Ireland Royal Ulster Constabulary Cap Badge and Collar Badges Set

Royal Ulster Constabulary Cap Badge and Collar Badges Set

This set includes a cap badge and two collar badges from the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). The RUC was the police force in Northern Ireland from its establishment in June 1922 until it was replaced by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in 2001. The RUC played a significant role during the Troubles, a period of conflict in Northern Ireland, and was known for its efforts to maintain law and order in a highly challenging and volatile environment.

The badges are distinct with their symbolic design featuring the harp, a traditional emblem of Ireland, surmounted by the Crown, representing the authority of the British government. The red felt backing on these badges is characteristic of the RUC insignia, making them instantly recognizable and historically significant.

This set represents not only a piece of Northern Irish history but also the broader context of British and Irish relations during a turbulent period. These badges would have been worn by members of the RUC, who were often on the front lines of the conflict, facing daily dangers in the line of duty. This makes the badges not only collectors’ items but also poignant symbols of a difficult era in Northern Ireland’s history.
