Seaforth Highlanders glengarry badge – a restrike example of Scottish military headdress insignia associated with the Seaforth Highlanders (Ross-shire Buffs, The Duke of Albany’s).
The badge features the regiment’s distinctive Highland design, incorporating the stag’s head and motto “Cuidich ‘n Righ” (“Aid the King”) linked to the Seaforth Highlanders. Intended for wear on the glengarry cap, the badge reflects the proud Scottish heritage and long military tradition of one of the British Army’s most celebrated Highland regiments.
Glengarry badges of this type were worn by officers and other ranks of the regiment on Highland undress headwear, serving as a visible symbol of regimental identity and esprit de corps. The glengarry became an iconic element of Highland military dress during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and remains closely associated with Scottish regiments.
The Seaforth Highlanders were formed in 1881 as part of the Childers Reforms through the amalgamation of the 72nd and 78th Regiments of Foot. The regiment served with distinction throughout the British Empire and in major conflicts, including the Second Boer War, the First World War, and World War II. In 1961, it amalgamated with the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders to form the Queen’s Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons).
As a restrike example, this badge has been manufactured after the original period of issue but faithfully reproduces the appearance of the historic pattern. Such examples are popular with collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts of Highland military history.
Manufactured in metal with attachment fittings to the reverse, this example represents an attractive reproduction of a classic Scottish regimental badge.
