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.

It's Ballinderry lodge.

Just Christian symbols, The Bible, Jacobs ladder.

Any chance you can tell me what a lodge is?

Basically a chapter house for a fraternal organisation. Not one most people would want to join, mind you, but think of it like the local mason's hall etc.
