Highland Light Infantry (HLI) chrome waist belt buckle, featuring the King’s Crown and manufactured as a modern-made reproduction of the regimental pattern. This attractive chrome-plated buckle is based on the waist belt equipment associated with the Highland Light Infantry and is suitable for collectors of Scottish military insignia, British Army regimental memorabilia, military re-enactors, and uniform restoration.
The Highland Light Infantry was a historic Scottish infantry regiment of the British Army, formed in 1881 through the amalgamation of the 71st (Highland) Regiment of Foot and 74th (Highland) Regiment of Foot. The regiment recruited extensively in Glasgow and the surrounding areas, maintaining a strong association with the city throughout its history. The HLI served in numerous campaigns and conflicts, including the First and Second World Wars, before being amalgamated into the Royal Highland Fusiliers in 1959.
This buckle features the King’s Crown, indicating a design associated with the reign of King George VI. The chrome construction represents later manufacture rather than an original period example, and this buckle is therefore offered specifically as a modern-made reproduction. It provides an affordable way to represent the historic HLI pattern without the cost or scarcity associated with original regimental equipment.
The distinctive Highland Light Infantry insignia makes this an attractive addition to collections of Scottish military badges, HLI memorabilia, British Army uniform accessories, and regimental accoutrements. It is also suitable for completing or restoring a Highland Light Infantry-style uniform or military display.
