C010658 BRITISH KING'S REGIMENT CAP BADGE.
BACKGROUND:
Every infantry or armored regiment had its own insignia. Cap badges were usually made of white metal, brass, copper or bi-metal. Most commonly brass and white metal were used. Officers were sometimes known to wear private purchase cap badges made of silver or silver bullion. The King's Regiment (Liverpool) was raised in Derbyshire and Hertfordshire as The Princess Anne of Denmark's Regiment of Foot on the 19th of June, 1685, and was re-designated The Queen's Regiment of Foot in 1702 when Princess Anne became Queen. In 1716 the regiment was renamed for King George I as The King's Regiment of Foot. In 1921 they became The King's Regiment (Liverpool) and remained that until being amalgamated with The Manchester Regiment, to form The King's Regiment (Manchester and Liverpool) in 1958.PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: A stamped, bi-metal cap badge, about 1 3/4" high by 1 1/2" wide, of a rearing, silver colored, horse over top of a brass scroll with the inscription "The "Kings"". The reverse is a mirror image of the obverse with a brass slider soldered to it. The badge is in good condition with an overall light age patina.
