Material: Brass
Size: 28 mm x 8 mm
Description: This original metal uniform insignia, officially designated by the abbreviation "XRH," was worn on the epaulets of service dress and battle dress jackets by personnel serving in the 10th Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales's Own). Measuring 28mm wide by 8mm high, the title is die-struck from a durable brass alloy, featuring a crisp sans-serif typeface that ensured quick recognition on the battlefield. The reverse side remains entirely unmarked and is fitted with a pair of brazed loop fasteners designed to accept a standard cotter split pin. This specific format saw continuous action through the shifting frontlines of the twentieth century, marking the regiment's evolution from a traditional mounted horse cavalry unit into an armored vehicle unit fighting under the Royal Armoured Corps banner.
Circa: 1914-1950s
Notes:
The 10th Royal Hussars were one of the best-known cavalry regiments of the British Army, long associated with the Prince of Wales. Compact shoulder titles like this were made for practical wear on service dress, where clear regimental lettering mattered more than ornament.
