Searching for County Antrim Badge/Crest

[macwilkin]

Can anyone recommend a good source for a Badge/Crest/Brooch for the Irish County Antrim? I have seen a comperter image for one but am having difficulties running down actual stuff.

That might be because, as they say here in Missouri, "there ain't no such creature", apart from a specially-commissioned badge.

One thing to point out: the Irish county tartans were designed back in the 1990s by the House of Edgar, and that the Irish have only recently embraced the kilt and other forms of Highland dress, and depending on who you talk to, either enthusiastically or half-heartedly.

While the firm Gaelic Themes did design an Irish crest badge for a number of Irish family names, I can't say I've ever seen badges, etc. depicting the arms of individual counties. I have seen generic "Irish" badges, usually featuring a harp, but not the arms of the counties.

Since arms in Irish heraldry generally belong to an individual person, or in this case, a county government, I doubt you would see much in the way of badges, etc. with them.
