9th/12th Royal Lancers (Prince of Wales’s) (1960-2015 Pattern) Anodised Cap Badge

9th/12th Royal Lancers (Prince of Wales’s) anodised cap badge, produced in the lightweight stay-brite anodised finish adopted by the British Army in the post-war period. This British Army cavalry cap badge displays the recognised 9th/12th Royal Lancers insignia in crisp relief, incorporating the regiment’s distinctive crossed lances, Prince of Wales’s feathers and scroll reading “IX-XII”, summounted by the Queen’s crown.

Introduced following the amalgamation of the 9th Queen’s Royal Lancers and the 12th Royal Lancers in 1960, this cap badge reflects the regiment’s armoured cavalry role during the Cold War era. Intended for wear on service dress caps and berets, it represents a collectable example of British Army cavalry insignia, anodised cap badges, and 9th/12th Royal Lancers regimental memorabilia. The reverse is fitted with standard hook slider fitting for secure attachment.
