Item Description
Up for sale is an authentic British Army Victorian era white metal cap badge representing the 9th Queen’s Royal Lancers. This early-pattern insignia features a large central numeral 9 over crossed lances, surmounted by a Queen Victoria’s flat-topped Crown (QVC) and a lower LANCERS banner scroll. Please note that this badge has significant damage, including a broken spear tip at the top and one missing reverse attachment lug. It is being sold strictly as-is for a historical relic display piece or reference example.
History & Era Context
The 9th Queen’s Royal Lancers was a distinguished cavalry regiment of the British Army. This specific crown profile identifies the piece as an early pattern worn during the final years of the Victorian era. During this timeframe, the regiment deployed to active service as traditional cavalry forces across South Africa during the Second Boer War (1899–1902). Despite its field wear and structural damage, the piece offers a fascinating look into genuine late-19th-century uniform insignia.
