WW2 Canadian The South Alberta Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian The South Alberta Regiment Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued during the Second World War. The badge was worn by members of The South Alberta Regiment, a Canadian armoured regiment that played a significant role in the Normandy Campaign and subsequent operations in Northwest Europe. This brass badge features the regiment’s distinctive design, which typically includes a maple leaf background, a central beaver emblem, and a scroll inscribed with the unit’s title. The reverse side commonly displays lugs or slider fittings for attachment to the service cap or beret. The cap badge served both as a unit identifier and as a symbol of regimental pride. Items such as this badge are of interest to collectors and historians for their connection to Canadian military history and to the contributions of The South Alberta Regiment during World War II. This example retains the traditional construction and period-appropriate detailing characteristic of wartime insignia.
