Lancashire Fusiliers cap badge, restrike example representing the design worn by this historic regiment of the British Army. This badge features the regiment’s distinctive device in relief, incorporating the sphinx over a scroll bearing the honour “Egypt”, set within a flaming grenade, with additional scrolls bearing the regiment’s title “The Lancashire Fusiliers”. The design commemorates service in Egypt, particularly during the Napoleonic campaigns.
The Lancashire Fusiliers were a distinguished line infantry regiment with a long and notable history, including service in the Napoleonic Wars, the First and Second World Wars, and numerous imperial campaigns. Cap badges of this type were worn on headdress, identifying regimental affiliation.
This restrike example is manufactured to replicate the appearance of original issue badges, making it suitable for display, study, or as a replacement piece. While not of original period manufacture, it provides an accurate representation of the regiment’s insignia.
Manufactured in bi-metal (gilding metal and white metal) with standard fittings to the reverse, this example offers a clear and durable representation of British infantry insignia. Lancashire Fusiliers badges are collected as examples of regimental memorabilia, British Army history, and cap badge collecting.
