Canadian Guards Officers Cap Badge

The Canadian Guards Officers Cap Badge is an official insignia worn by commissioned officers of The Canadian Guards regiment. Established in 1953, The Canadian Guards served as an infantry regiment of the Canadian Army until its reduction to nil strength in 1970. The badge is crafted in a traditional Guards pattern, typically featuring a starburst design with the regimental insignia at the center. The central motif displays the regimental badge, which may incorporate elements such as the regimental motto and symbolic imagery representative of the unit’s heritage. Constructed from metal, officer versions generally exhibit superior finish and detailing compared to other ranks, often with gilt or silver plating. Attachment is typically by lugs or slider on the reverse. The badge offers insight into Canadian military ceremonial regalia and represents the history and traditions of a now-disbanded infantry regiment. This item is of interest to collectors of Canadian military insignia and historians of regimental dress.
