    Am a keen collector of Connaught Rangers medals and I am wondering if there may be collectors out there who may have same for trade.
    Am looking for a Long Service George VII medal to start with.
    Have some good medals to trade for Conn.Rangers medals.

    i have a some single medals to the rangers and a pair , about a dozen in all . medals to this premier Irish regiment are thin on the ground . you may find what you are looking for but you will pay a decent price for it . good luck in your quest. i started collecting militaria after reading about the connaught rangers and the first item i got was a cap badge .

    I also collect ODM to the 88th & 94th The Connaught Rangers 1793 - 1922 including Photos + Diaries + other original documents. I usually have ODM to other Irish Units to trade. I also collect Medals to men lost on RMS Leinster in October 1918. Happy to exchange information with other collectors. I have most of the books published on the Regiment and by men who served in the Regiment.

    Hi,
    Yes, I just collect Medals to the 88th,94th and Connaught Rangers. I have other items to the Connaughts that I will be willing to trade for said medals.
    My collection can be seen if you visit roscommonhistory.ie (under Military.)
    they have a section on the Connaught Rangers.
    Most of the items that I have for trade are metal, dont have anything in the line of Doc's etc.
