Coldstream Guards Guardsman’s cap badge of the pattern worn by soldiers of the Coldstream Guards of the British Army. This British Army Foot Guards cap badge displays the recognised insignia of the regiment in clear relief, incorporating the eight-pointed Star of the Order of the Garter as the principal device. At the centre appears the Garter strap bearing the motto “Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense,” surrounding the Cross of St. George, the long-standing emblem associated with the regiment.
The Coldstream Guards trace their origins to 1650 and are the second-senior regiment of Foot Guards within the Household Division. The badge reflects the regiment’s long royal association and its role in state ceremonial duties as well as operational service. The Star of the Order of the Garter, England’s highest order of chivalry, forms the defining feature of the insignia and is characteristic of Coldstream Guards headdress badges worn throughout the modern period.
Manufactured in brass consistent with service dress wear, this Guardsman’s pattern example provides a clear representation of the traditional regimental design. Coldstream Guards cap badges are collected as examples of Household Division militaria, British Army Guards insignia, and historic regimental uniform hardware.
