WW2 British Desert Rat Pin Badge 2cm
KEY FEATURES
This is the WW2 British Desert Rat Pin Badge.
7th Armoured Division Insignia
The red jerboa emblem was made famous by the British 7th Armoured Division during the North African campaign in 1940. Nicknamed the 'Desert Rats', the unit adopted this native rodent as their formation sign across the Western Desert and El Alamein. This accurate reproduction captures the circular insignia, showing the upright jerboa set against a crisp white field and red border.
Enamel Metal Construction
Built from stamped alloy metal, the badge features a hard gloss enamel fill that protects the colours from scuffs and weather. The polished silver-tone border frames the design, creating clear contrast that will not tarnish or fade during outdoor use. Measuring 20mm in diameter, it offers a discreet profile suited to uniforms, field jackets, or berets without snagging on gear.
Brooch Clasp Mounting
On the reverse, a sturdy horizontal brooch pin with a locking C-clasp keeps the badge firmly in place. The stippled rear surface prevents the badge from rotating or slipping once pinned through fabric. It fixes securely to lapels, tactical caps, rucksacks, or collector display boards, making it a practical addition to your kit or militaria collection.
Pin this 7th Armoured Division insignia to your jacket, pack, or display case to complete your British militaria setup.
