Royal Irish Rifles Officer’s post 1905 pouch belt plate

An extremely fine example. Die-stamped silvered shamrock wreath bearing battle honours and surmounted by a crown resting on a scroll inscribed “QUIS SEPARABIT”. Within the wreath, a Maid of Erin Harp over the Sphinx on a tablet inscribed “EGYPT” with a scroll inscribed “SOUTH AFRICA 1899-1902” below. At the base of the wreath a strung bugle with a scroll resting on the strings inscribed “ROYAL IRISH RIFLES”.  Four screw posts to reverse and complete with backing plate.
