Royal Canadian Regiment Cap Badge

The Royal Canadian Regiment Cap Badge is a distinctive piece of military insignia associated with The Royal Canadian Regiment, one of Canada’s oldest regular infantry regiments. Typically constructed from brass or white metal, this badge features the regimental cypher encircled by a wreath of maple leaves and surmounted by a crown, signifying royal patronage. The design may include additional elements such as the regimental motto, intended to represent the unit’s heritage and values. Worn on the service dress cap, this badge has been an essential identifier for members of the regiment since its early years in the late 19th century. The cap badge not only denotes regimental affiliation but also reflects changes in monarchs and uniforms over time, with various patterns issued across different eras. Collectors and historians value such badges for their role in illustrating the evolution of Canadian military insignia and the history of the regiment itself.
