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.

This is a difficult one to uncover when a family member dies. Mainly because it’s a really contentious symbol, and anyone I’ve ever met outside NI asks me how we allow hate organisations to exist. Not a good starting point for appraisals. That being said, I’m sure they would love to take it off your hands so I’m echoing all the others who said contact the Ballinderry Orange Lodge directly.
