Item Description
Up for sale is a high-quality Gloucestershire Regiment white metal cap badge. This specific badge features the clear manufacturer stamp of AMMO UK on the rear brass slider.
AMMO UK pieces are premium private-purchase badges authorized for wear and sold through the regimental PRI unit shops. Serving personnel often prefer them over standard issue variants due to their superior weight, sharp striking quality, and capability to be highly polished.
The front depicts the traditional Egyptian Sphinx resting on a pedestal inscribed EGYPT, enveloped by fine laurel leaf sprays and underlined by the GLOUCESTERSHIRE scroll. The reverse reveals the hollow die-stamped backing configuration. An excellent, genuine piece for collectors of modern British military insignia or manufacturer-marked variants.
Condition Report
- Condition: Used / Vintage
- Condition Description: Excellent used condition. The white metal has a bright finish with very crisp definitions on the Sphinx paws, headpiece, and individual laurel leaves. The brass slider is straight, sturdy, and fully intact, showing the AMMO UK maker mark clearly. No bends, cracks, or modifications. Please review the front and back photos to inspect the exact condition.
Historical Background
The Gloucestershire Regiment insignia proudly displays the Sphinx emblem and the inscription EGYPT to commemorate the actions of the 28th Regiment of Foot at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801. Fighting back-to-back against surrounding French forces, their bravery earned them the rare right to wear a rear cap badge alongside the front badge. While older versions were worn in the World Wars, this piece represents the high-quality modern private-purchase traditions maintained by authorized manufacturers like AMMO UK for soldiers serving in the latter part of the 20th century.
