Material: Staybrite (Anodized Aluminum)
Size: 30mm × 30mm
Description: This official military insignia serves as the standard uniform headdress emblem for the Royal Anglian Regiment, an infantry unit formed in 1964 from the amalgamation of the various county regiments across East Anglia and the East Midlands. The precise 30mm by 30mm design centers upon a brilliant gold-anodized, three-turreted medieval castle complete with an operating portcullis, modeled directly after the historical Arms of Gibraltar. This prominent fortress architecture rests upon a scrolling banner cleanly inscribed with the regimental title "ROYAL ANGLIAN," layered directly over an eight-pointed diamond-cut silver star that pays lineage tribute to the Northamptonshire Regiment. This specific item is struck from lightweight anodized aluminum, commonly known in British military circles as "Staybrite", and utilizes a elongated vertical slider mechanism welded on the reverse side to slot firmly into standard berets. Reverse slider marked JR GAUNT B'HAM.
Circa: Introduced 1964
