Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers and Greys) cap badge, original example of British Army headdress insignia associated with the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
The badge features the regiment’s distinctive insignia in relief, incorporating the elements inherited from its predecessor regiments. The design reflects the proud history and traditions of one of the British Army’s senior cavalry regiments, combining the heritage of both the Royal Scots Greys and the 3rd Carabiniers.
Cap badges of this type were worn on military headwear by officers and other ranks of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, serving as a visible symbol of regimental identity and esprit de corps. The badge formed a central element of the regiment’s uniform and represented its distinguished lineage within the British Army’s armoured forces.
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards was formed in 1971 through the amalgamation of the Royal Scots Greys (2nd Dragoons) and the 3rd Carabiniers (Prince of Wales’s Dragoon Guards). Since its formation, the regiment has served in a variety of armoured reconnaissance and operational roles, continuing the traditions of both predecessor units while participating in deployments around the world.
Manufactured in bimetal (white metal and gilding metal) with original attachment fittings to the reverse, this example represents an attractive piece of modern British cavalry and armoured corps insignia.
