WWII Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) Cap Badge

This original WWII-era cap badge of The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) represents one of the most storied and respected regiments in Scottish and British military history. Crafted in metal with exceptional detail, it features the regiment’s classic star-shaped badge with a textured backdrop, crowned at the top and centered by the figure of St. Andrew holding the saltire cross—the national symbol of Scotland. Surrounding the central medallion is the famed regimental motto, “Nemo Me Impune Lacessit” (“No one provokes me with impunity”), a proud declaration closely associated with Scottish heritage and military tradition.

The badge displays the intricate wreath and thistle details typical of wartime Black Watch insignia, and the reverse includes original WWII-period lugs and mounting points, confirming its authenticity. These characteristics make it highly desirable among collectors specializing in Scottish regiments, World War II militaria, or British Army cap badges.

As one of the most widely recognized Highland regiments, The Black Watch served with distinction across multiple WWII campaigns, making their insignia deeply symbolic and historically meaningful. This badge is not a reproduction but an authentic wartime piece, suitable for museum-quality collections, reenactors seeking accurate kit components, or enthusiasts of historic military craftsmanship.

A rare opportunity to own a genuine artifact from one of Britain’s most legendary fighting units.
