4th (King’s Own) Regiment of Foot Glengarry cap badge, a restrike example based on the historic insignia of the 4th (King’s Own) Regiment of Foot. This regiment, later known as the King’s Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment), was one of the oldest line infantry regiments of the British Army, with service dating back to the 17th century.
The badge design features the regiment’s distinctive device in relief, incorporating the number “4” in a belted circlet bearing the regiment’s name “King’s Own Royal Regiment”, surmounted by the royal lion. Such elements reflect the regiment’s long-standing royal association and established identity within the British Army.
Glengarry badges of this type were worn on the traditional Scottish-style Glengarry cap, adopted for undress or field wear across a number of regiments. These badges served as clear identifiers of regimental affiliation while maintaining recognised uniform traditions.
This restrike example has been produced to replicate the appearance and detailing of original period badges. While not of original manufacture, it offers an accurate and accessible representation suitable for collectors, display, or reenactment use.
Manufactured in brass with standard fittings to the reverse, this example provides a durable and well-defined representation of British regimental insignia. Badges of the 4th (King’s Own) Regiment are widely collected within British militaria, particularly for their historical lineage and royal connections.
