British Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders Cap Badge

The British Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders Cap Badge is a metal insignia historically worn by members of the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders regiment of the British Army. Typically crafted from brass or white metal, the badge features the emblem of the regiment: the St. Andrew’s cross behind a thistle wreath, surmounted by a crown. In the center, a stag’s head is depicted, symbolizing the regiment’s Scottish heritage, and is often accompanied by the unit’s motto. This badge was worn on the cap as part of the regimental headdress and served as a distinctive mark of the Cameron Highlanders from the late 19th century and into the 20th century, prior to amalgamations with other Scottish regiments. Collectors and historians value such badges for their direct association with regimental history and the military traditions of Scotland within the British Army. Dimensions and precise design details may vary based on era and manufacturer.
