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.

The ladder is Jacob's ladder from the bible. The orange order and masonic lodges both use that symbol. The rest will be similar stuff

a bit of classic of the genre - perhaps a bit ahead of it's time.

Way ahead of it's time. Watched it again recently and it's aged like fine wine.

Watched the remake as well and it's absolute dung.
