Reconnaissance Corps cap badge produced as a restrike of the Second World War pattern worn by reconnaissance units of the British Army. This British Army Reconnaissance Corps cap badge displays the recognised regimental insignia in gilding metal, incorporating the Corps’ lightning bolts and central spear, with “Reconnaissance Corps” title scroll beneath, arranged in a balanced composition characteristic of wartime British Army headdress insignia.
Manufactured in gilding metal construction, this restrike example offers a sharply defined representation of the original WW2 pattern. Reconnaissance Corps cap badges are collected as examples of Second World War British Army militaria, reconnaissance insignia, and wartime regimental cap badge variants. The reverse is fitted with standard lug fittings for secure attachment to a service dress cap or beret.
