WW2 Canadian The Regina Rifle Regiment Officer’s Cap Badge

This is an original World War II-era officer’s cap badge from The Regina Rifle Regiment, a unit of the Canadian Army. The badge is constructed from brass and features the regimental insignia central to the design—a crowned beaver above a scroll bearing the regimental motto, “Semper Fidelis.” Surrounding these elements is a maple leaf wreath, symbolizing Canada, with the regiment’s name inscribed on a scroll at the base. Badges like this were worn on the service dress caps of officers serving with the regiment during the Second World War, particularly in campaigns such as the Normandy landings and subsequent actions in Northwest Europe. The reverse typically includes lugs or slider fittings for attachment. Cap badges served as identifiers and demonstrated regimental affiliation within the Canadian military structure. This piece represents the distinctive emblems used by Canadian infantry officers and illustrates the insignia carried by members of The Regina Rifle Regiment during WWII.
