WW2 17th Duke of York’s Royal Canadian Hussars Officer’s Cap Badge and Collar Insignia Single

The WW2 17th Duke of York’s Royal Canadian Hussars Officer’s Cap Badge and Collar Insignia represents a unique piece of Canadian military history from the Second World War. This single insignia set consists of an officer’s cap badge and a corresponding collar badge, each crafted to denote rank and regimental affiliation. The cap badge features the regiment’s distinctive insignia, incorporating traditional heraldic elements such as a crown, scroll, and regimental motifs, often produced in brass or gilded metals during the wartime period. The collar insignia, worn on the officer’s tunic, complements the cap badge in design and material. Issued to members of the 17th Hussars, a unit with roots dating back to the 19th century, these items were worn as part of the official uniform during military operations and ceremonial occasions. They serve as representative artifacts of Canadian armoured cavalry traditions and wartime service.
