Canadian Forces Infantry Enamelled Cap Badge

The Canadian Forces Infantry Enamelled Cap Badge is a distinctive insignia used by members of the Canadian Army’s infantry units. Typically crafted from brass or a similar metal and detailed with colored enamel, the badge features the traditional crossed rifles emblem, symbolizing the infantry branch. Above the rifles is a crown, representing the connection to the Canadian monarchy and the nation’s heritage. The design may also include a scroll bearing the word “INFANTRY” or the official bilingual title, reflecting Canada’s bilingual tradition. This badge was worn on the service dress cap and served both as an identifier of branch affiliation and as a mark of distinction within the military hierarchy. Badges like this have been produced in various styles corresponding to different eras, with this version representing the post-Unification Canadian Forces period. These cap badges are of interest to collectors, historians, and anyone engaged in the study of Canadian military uniforms and insignia.
