Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars cap badge produced as a restrike of the 1958–1993 pattern, representing the design worn following the amalgamation of the 4th Queen’s Own Hussars and the 8th King’s Royal Irish Hussars in 1958. This British Army cavalry cap badge displays the recognised insignia of the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars in clear, well-defined relief, incorporating the regiment’s Irish harp and circlet reading the regiment’s title “The Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars” surmounted by the Queen’s crown, arranged in a balanced and formal composition characteristic of mid- to late-20th century British Army headdress insignia.
Manufactured in bimetal (gilding metal and white metal) with a bright finish, consistent with later service dress and beret wear, this restrike example offers a clean and sharply defined representation of the original pattern. Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars cap badges of this type are collected as examples of Cold War era British Army cavalry militaria, amalgamated regiment insignia, and modern regimental uniform hardware. The reverse is fitted with a standard hook slider fitting for secure attachment.
