Metal Cadet Badges
Our comprehensive metal badges collection provides the premium insignia required for formal ceremonial uniforms across cadet forces and adult instructor ranks. These meticulously crafted items transform standard uniform components into precise indicators of rank and appointment through quality materials and exceptional detail.
The collection encompasses the complete range of rank insignia—from the distinctive pips and crowns that identify officer ranks to the brass chevrons that denote non-commissioned appointments. Each badge is manufactured to exacting military specifications, ensuring consistent appearance that meets the rigorous standards expected during formal parades and ceremonial duties.
Various fitting options accommodate different uniform requirements. Spike-and-clutch fittings provide secure attachment to shoulder boards and epaulettes, while shank fittings ensure proper positioning on tunics and dress jackets. The different size options—from 3/8-inch to 3/4-inch—maintain proper proportions across various uniform scales, from small female No1 dress to full-sized male ceremonial attire.
Premium finishes create distinctive appearance appropriate for different ceremonial contexts. Traditional brass provides authentic military styling, while anodised finishes in gilt, silver, and black offer contemporary alternatives that maintain formal standards. The Eversleigh range, with its exceptional detail and superior materials, provides the premium quality expected for senior appointments and special occasions.
For Combined Cadet Force units with specific regimental affiliations, specialised insignia like The Rifles sterling silver badge in presentation box offers appropriate ceremonial distinction for formal events. Practical accessories like leather wrist straps complete ceremonial appearance while providing functional support for extended parades.
