Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
A genuine, unissued British Royal Navy officer cap badge.
Naval Officer Insignia
This original British Royal Navy insignia features the Queen's Crown, marking its production during Queen Elizabeth II's reign (1952–2022). It depicts the traditional fouled anchor wrapped in naval cable, surrounded by a gold laurel wreath. Issued to commissioned and warrant officers, this design represents centuries of maritime authority and service.
Anodised Staybrite Build
Unlike traditional heavy brass, this badge is made from anodised aluminium, known in the military as 'Staybrite'. This material choice ensures the badge is extremely lightweight and completely rust-resistant. It retains its brilliant gold and silver shine in harsh saltwater environments without ever needing to be polished.
Secure Cotter Pin Fitting
The rear of the badge features two sturdy horizontal lugs. It includes a traditional steel split-pin (hairpin cotter pin) that locks the badge firmly in place. This mounting system prevents the badge from rotating or falling off during outdoor activities, making it perfect for berets, hats, or rugged field gear.
