Vintage 1950s Lancashire Fusiliers Mixed Metal Military Cap Badge Brooch UK Pin

Lancashire Fusiliers cap badges in the two-part bi-metal format come up rarely — most you find are either single-piece or heavily worn.

A British Army regimental cap badge for the Lancashire Fusiliers, the regiment famous for the Gallipoli landings of 1915. The badge is constructed in two distinct halves: a gold-tone flaming grenade with a sphinx and laurel wreath — the regiment's Egypt honour — and a silver-tone X-shaped scroll bearing "Lancashire The Fusiliers" in relief. The slider fitting on the reverse is the standard cap badge bar mount.

This is a collectible piece for military history enthusiasts and for those who wear vintage badges as brooches on lapels or jackets. The bi-metal finish makes it more visually interesting than single-finish versions.

Wears well on a dark wool lapel or heavy jacket where the gold and silver contrast reads clearly. The 6 cm width gives it the presence of a statement brooch without being heavy — at 12 g it sits flat without pulling fabric. Works equally as a display piece in a frame or case alongside other regimental badges.
