Badges of The Royal Canadian Regiment
1990s

The badges at right, issued in the 1990s through the Regimental Store, exhibit a return to the St Edward's crown which was discontinued in the 1970s. These badges are further distinguished by a new presentation of the "VRI" cypher, with prominently raised and separate letters in the front piece. The backplate is deeply incised to make the very distinct radial and concentric lines of a proper diamond cut star, and they have a high degree of convexity in profile.

The badge was produced in a separate officer's version with silver letters, the first such badge in a some decades. It is interesting that this officer's variation was produced after the Regiment ceased wearing the forage cap, leaving its only official use as an officer's badge on the Full Dress white Wolseley helmet.
