49th (West Riding) Reconnaissance Corps Bimetal Cap Badge, Restrike

49th (West Riding) Reconnaissance Corps bimetal 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 clear relief, incorporating the Corps’ lightning bolts and spear in gilding metal with a white metal Yorkshire rose, with “Reconnaissance Corps” title scroll beneath, arranged in a balanced composition characteristic of wartime British Army headdress insignia.

Manufactured in bimetal construction combining white metal and brass elements, this restrike example offers a sharply defined representation of the original WW2 pattern. 49th (West Riding) Reconnaissance Corps cap badges are collected as examples of Second World War British Army militaria, divisional 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.
