The WW2 British Cheshire Regiment Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to members of the Cheshire Regiment during the Second World War. The badge features the regiment’s distinctive design, typically comprising an acorn and oak leaves motif, emblematic of the regiment’s heritage and identity. Constructed from brass or white metal, these cap badges were commonly worn on the service dress cap by both non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel. The reverse usually includes either lugs or a slider for attachment to the headdress. The Cheshire Regiment, established in 1689, played significant roles in various theaters throughout World War II, including campaigns in Europe and the Far East. Cap badges such as this are representative of British Army uniform insignia from the era and are of interest to collectors and historians for their connection to military history and regimental tradition.
