Full Description

This listing is for an original 7th Battalion, The Hampshire Regiment cap badge from the United Kingdom. The badge features a laurel wreath surrounding the well-known dog-gauge emblem, with the scroll below inscribed 7TH BN. HAMPSHIRE REGT..

The battalion formed part of the Territorial Force, and this specific badge pattern was used from 1908 until 1947. The dog-gauge symbol has a strong link to the New Forest area of Hampshire, where a wooden gauge was historically used to test the size of dogs to protect local deer. The unit adopted this symbol to reflect its regional heritage.

A strong piece for collectors of British militaria, Territorial Force units, or WWI/WWII-era regimental insignia.
