Struck in high-quality solid brass, the design features a striking Maltese cross with a highly detailed central medallion depicting St. George slaying the Dragon, encircled by the text “Queen Victoria’s”.

Item History
The Queen Victoria’s Rifles (QVR) was an elite volunteer rifle regiment of the British Army’s Territorial Force, based out of London. This specific configuration of the badge, featuring the King’s Crown paired with the South Africa 1900-02 honour tablet, was introduced after the Boer War and proudly worn by the regiment through World War I. Unlike standard units, the QVR had a long-standing prestige in the capital, later seeing fierce actions at Hill 60 and Ypres during the Great War.
