Condition Report
- Condition: Used / Vintage
- Condition Description: Excellent complete vintage condition. The reverse showcases a beautiful dark aged patina with a touch of authentic green verdigris highlighting the inner crown recesses, proving its age. Both copper wire lugs are perfectly solid and securely anchored to the badge body. The accompanying brass split pin is straight and functional. No cracks, modern welds, or repairs. Please inspect the photographs to verify the genuine manufacturing marks.
Historical Background
The Household Cavalry comprises the most senior regiments of the British Army, combining state ceremonial duties as the Sovereign’s personal bodyguard with frontline armored reconnaissance roles. Because these traditional brass badges were frequently polished from the front while serving on active duty, the reverse sides offer the best way to verify age and authenticity. The inclusion of the original split pin means this badge has remained in its genuine, issued configuration since it was originally detached from a soldier’s headdress.
