Canadian Assiniboine Regiment Cap Badge

The Canadian Assiniboine Regiment Cap Badge is a military insignia associated with the Assiniboine Regiment, a Canadian militia unit formed in 1920 and later amalgamated into The Royal Winnipeg Rifles in 1954. This brass badge typically features a central maple leaf motif, a crown, and a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s name. The design reflects traditional Canadian military symbolism, with the maple leaf representing the nation and the crown indicating loyalty to the Crown. Cap badges such as this were worn on the headdress as identifying marks by members of the regiment. The fastening device on the reverse often consists of lugs or a slider affixed to the back of the badge, enabling secure attachment to the uniform. Cap badges serve as key identifiers for military units and are of interest to collectors for their historical and regimental associations. This item provides a tangible link to the heritage and organizational history of Canadian forces.
