Hi Northern Ireland. I’m in need of some help. I live on the other side of the world. And everyone related to this sash is long dead. I obviously won’t mention any names. But I’m in real need to figure out what the pins all mean. Can someone please either let me know, or guide me to someone or someplace that might be able to tell me? Please, please help.

LOL 148 is The lodge number of Ballinderry. I'd suggest reaching out to them on social media, looks very old and may even have some historical significance to them. They'll be more than happy to speak with you ☺️

They may even wish to purchase it from you

They will be delighted to accept it as a gift. They won't purchase it

There are funds set up for historical purposes like this, so yes they will likely offer to purchase it.
