Royal Canadian Regiment Cap Badge

The Royal Canadian Regiment Cap Badge is a distinctive military insignia historically worn by members of the Royal Canadian Regiment. This badge features a prominent eight-pointed star, symbolizing the regiment’s heritage, with the regimental cypher “VRI” (Victoria Regina Imperatrix) at its center. Above the cypher, a crown denotes the regiment’s royal designation. The motto “Pro Patria” is inscribed on a scroll below, translating to “For Country.” Made typically from brass or white metal, the badge measures approximately 60 mm from point to point and incorporates lugs on the reverse for secure attachment to a headdress. The Royal Canadian Regiment, established in 1883, is one of Canada’s oldest operational infantry regiments, and its cap badge has been a recognizable emblem throughout its history. This item is suitable for collectors of Canadian military memorabilia or those studying regimental insignia from the late nineteenth century to the present.
