The image shown here is a 1916 flag based on my photo taken at the National
Museum of Ireland, Dublin. A green flag, gold harp toward the hoist, in upper

My family have in our possession some early nationalist/unionist materials from Ireland circa 1910-16 or thereabouts. I present two sketches which I believe might be originals of, what were at the time, proposed flags or emblems for the Irish Volunteers and possibly Sinn Fein. I can't find out much about them off the web.

The text on the upper right of the second badge reads "Sketch Designs for Flag of the Irish Volunteers. I Silver Shields, II Bronze Shields"
