The WW2 Canadian West Nova Scotia Regiment Cap Badge is an authentic military insignia issued to members of the West Nova Scotia Regiment during the Second World War. This badge is typically constructed from brass or white metal and features a central Maltese cross surrounded by a wreath, surmounted by the Royal Crown. The central motif often displays the regiment’s Latin motto “Semper Fidelis” on a scroll along with distinguishing symbols and the unit name. Cap badges like this one served as unit identifiers and were worn on the front of the service cap. The West Nova Scotia Regiment, an infantry unit of the Canadian Army, participated in several key campaigns during World War II, including operations in Sicily and mainland Italy. Original badges from this period remain of interest to collectors and historians for their historical significance and distinctive design features connected to Canadian military heritage.
