Small Arms School Corps (SASC) cap badge, restrike example of the pattern worn between 1953 and 2022. This badge features the corps’ distinctive device in clear relief, incorporating crossed rifles and a Vickers machine gun beneath the Queen’s crown, with a scroll bearing the corps title, all executed in a bright white metal finish consistent with modern insignia.
The Small Arms School Corps is responsible for infantry weapons training and marksmanship instruction within the British Army. The crossed rifles symbolise expertise in small arms, while the crowned design denotes service under Queen Elizabeth II, placing this pattern within her reign. Cap badges of this type were worn on berets and service dress, identifying corps affiliation.
This restrike example is manufactured to replicate the appearance of original issue badges, making it suitable for display, study, or as a replacement piece. While not of original issue manufacture, it provides an accurate representation of the design and form used over several decades.
Manufactured in white metal with standard fittings to the reverse, this example offers a clear and durable representation of British Army corps insignia. SASC badges are collected as examples of training corps history, modern militaria, and uniform components.
