WW2 British Black Watch Royal Highland Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 British Black Watch Royal Highland Regiment Cap Badge is an original insignia worn by members of the Royal Highland Regiment during the Second World War. This badge features the prominent St. Andrew’s cross with a thistle motif at the center, representing the regiment’s Scottish heritage. The badge is typically made of brass or white metal, with fine detailing illustrating the regiment’s distinctive design. The Black Watch, known formally as the Royal Highland Regiment, played significant roles in major campaigns throughout WW2, including service in Europe and North Africa. The cap badge served both as a symbol of regimental identity and as part of the standard military headgear, attached to the front of the glengarry or tam o’ shanter. Collectors and historians regard these badges as tangible links to the service and history of Scottish infantry regiments in the British Army during the 1939–1945 conflict.
