Brass/ gilt-toned radiating star cap badge with a crowned circlet reading “DUKE OF EDINBURGH’S OWN RIFLES” and the regiment’s central device. This is a South African Cape Town-based unit (Duke of Edinburgh’s Own Rifles), and the crowned pattern aligns with Union-era service (pre-Republic), commonly encountered on WWII-period headdress.
