British Army 24th Regiment South Wales Borderers Staybright Collars Insignia Pair

The British Army 24th Regiment South Wales Borderers Staybright Collars Insignia Pair consists of two matching collar badges. These insignia represent the 24th Regiment, known as the South Wales Borderers, an infantry unit with a distinguished history within the British Army. Manufactured in Staybright, an anodized aluminum material introduced in the mid-20th century, these collar badges are lightweight and maintain a polished appearance with minimal maintenance, as opposed to earlier brass versions. The design typically features the regiment’s emblem—often incorporating the sphinx and laurel wreath, which reference the unit’s involvement in the Egyptian campaign. Each badge is intended for wear on the collar of the regimental uniform, distinguishing members of the South Wales Borderers. Collectors and historians value such insignia for their association with British military heritage, and their design and construction reflect post-World War II uniform standards. The pair offered here is suitable for display or reference in military collections.
