Swedish Hussar Regiments NCO Cap Badge m/1895

This Swedish Hussar Regiments Non-Commissioned Officer’s Cap Badge m/1895 is an authentic late 19th to early 20th-century military insignia. The design features a radiant starburst pattern with a central medallion bearing the Three Crowns of Sweden (Tre Kronor), surmounted by the Royal Crown. Below, two crossed sabers highlight the badge’s cavalry association, specifically the hussar regiments.

The m/1895 cap badge was worn by NCOs of the Swedish cavalry, a branch known for its mobility, distinctive uniforms, and traditional role as light horsemen. The ornate gilt brass construction not only symbolized prestige but also reflected Sweden’s long-standing martial traditions.

The reverse of the badge retains its original lug fittings, ensuring authenticity. The piece shows age-appropriate wear and patina, consistent with its use and history, yet remains well-detailed and sharply struck.

As a historical artifact, this badge represents more than just regimental insignia—it is a tangible link to Sweden’s military heritage during a period of modernization in the late 19th century. Collectors of Swedish militaria, cavalry regalia, or European military badges will find this to be a rare and valuable addition.
