The piece is two-part construction: a gold-tone flaming grenade on the left and a silver-tone circular disc on the right, bearing the Latin motto \"FATA VOCANT\" (The Fates Are Calling) around the rim and a mounted knight figure at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slider bar on the reverse is the original cap fastening — this is how the badge was worn on a military dress cap or beret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scale is compact at 4 × 2 cm. It works pinned to a lapel or jacket with a brooch converter, or displayed in a frame or shadow box alongside other regimental pieces. The two-tone metal gives it visual weight without bulk — the kind of piece a collector wears with a dark blazer rather than leaving in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Cap Badge (Brooch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Gold-tone and silver-tone metal, two-piece construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 4 × 2 × 1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 17 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarked: \"FATA VOCANT\" motto on obverse rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Slider bar (original cap badge fastening)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle\/Theme: Military, figural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent · All elements intact, slider bar functional, light age patina to reverse consistent with wear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rare Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54107548352849,"sku":"RR-0401","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/6667\/9633\/files\/2026-06-20_13.29.38.jpg?v=1781967281","url":"https:\/\/therareroom.co.uk\/products\/vintage-1950s-gold-tone-silver-tone-military-cap-badge-royal-fusiliers-brooch","provider":"The Rare Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
