Description
The Para Regiment Cap Badge with King's Tudor Crown is a distinctive emblem worn by members of the Parachute Regiment, a renowned airborne infantry regiment in the British Army. The cap badge represents the regiment's history, traditions, and achievements.
The badge features a silver parachute descending within a laurel wreath. The parachute is highly detailed, showcasing the canopy and suspension lines. The laurel wreath symbolises victory, honour, and achievement. It forms a circular border around the parachute, giving the badge a prominent and recognisable appearance.
At the top of the badge is the King's Tudor Crown. The Tudor Crown is an ornate crown design with a cluster of fleurs-de-lis and arches, representing the Tudor dynasty that ruled England from the late 15th century to the early 17th century. The King's Tudor Crown denotes the regiment's history, as it was originally raised during World War II as the 1st Parachute Battalion in 1940 and has since evolved into the Parachute Regiment.
The silver colour of the parachute and the King's Tudor Crown indicates the rank of the regiment as a sovereign unit within the British Army. It signifies the regiment's elite status and its role as an airborne force, capable of conducting rapid and precision deployments into combat zones.

100% brilliant badge.
My late father served in the First Battalion of the Parachute Regiment in the 1950's. Nobody knows where his original cap badge is which would have the King's Tudor Crown in the early 1950's. The badge was later redesigned with the Queen's Crown but this is the closest replica that I could find. Thank you so much.
