Canadian Airborne Regiment Cap Badge

The Canadian Airborne Regiment Cap Badge is an emblematic artifact associated with the now-disbanded, elite Canadian Airborne Regiment of the Canadian Armed Forces. This cap badge typically features the crest of the airborne regiment, depicting a pair of dispatcher wings attached to a falling parachute. The crest is encapsulated within a white maple leaf, the national emblem of Canada, underlining the regiment’s origin. Usually made of soldered metal, its size and shape may vary slightly. The badge is historically significant, representing the unit’s operational service from 1968 until its disbandment in 1995. Collectors and military enthusiasts often seek these cap badges, and they’re also used by former members of the airborne regiment as a memoir of their service. While the badge has no official use today, it remains an important symbol of a distinctive chapter in Canadian military history.
