10th Princess Mary’s Own Gurkha Rifles Cap Badge, Restrike

10th Princess Mary’s Own Gurkha Rifles cap badge, restrike example of the pattern worn by soldiers of this distinguished regiment of the British Indian Army. This badge features the regiment’s iconic kukri knife, strung bugle, regimental title scroll and royal cypher, forming one of the most recognisable designs among Gurkha military insignia. The piece is executed in white metal, consistent with the traditional manufacture of Gurkha Rifles cap badges.

The kukri is emblematic of Gurkha service and martial heritage, representing both the traditional Nepalese weapon and the long-standing reputation of Gurkha troops within British and Commonwealth forces. The 10th Princess Mary’s Own Gurkha Rifles served with distinction in numerous campaigns, including the First and Second World Wars, before later becoming part of the Brigade of Gurkhas.

This restrike example is manufactured to reflect the original pattern, offering a clear and well-defined representation of the historic badge design. Such pieces are collected as examples of British Indian Army insignia, Gurkha regiment memorabilia, and military cap badges associated with colonial and early modern military history.
