Herefordshire Regiment Cap Badge (1908–1947 Pattern) – Original, a genuine British Army regimental cap badge associated with the Herefordshire Regiment and its Territorial Force service. The badge represents Herefordshire’s county-based military traditions and dates from the period covering the First World War, interwar years, and Second World War.
The Herefordshire Regiment was formed in 1908 as part of the Territorial Force following the reorganisation of Britain’s volunteer military forces. The regiment served as a territorial infantry unit during both World Wars, with personnel contributing to British military operations during the twentieth century. The 1908–1947 pattern is therefore of particular interest to collectors of Territorial Force insignia, First World War and Second World War militaria, British Army cap badges and Herefordshire military history. This original example is suitable for collections concentrating on county regiments, Territorial Army insignia and British Army uniform badges.
Dimensions
Approx. 45mm x 43mm.
Condition
Good overall condition with age-related wear and surface patination. The badge retains clear definition to the principal design and remains a genuine period example suitable for display or inclusion in a collection of British Army regimental insignia.
