Royal Air Force Regiment Badge – King's Crown Display Frame
Official MOD-Licensed Military Heritage Piece
Celebrate the proud heritage of the Royal Air Force Regiment with this officially licensed King's Crown display frame, featuring a full three-dimensional reproduction of the Regiment's heraldic badge.
The RAF Regiment was formally established as a Corps within the Royal Air Force by a Royal Warrant signed by King George VI on 6 January 1942, with 1 February 1942 recognised as its formation date. It was created to provide the RAF with its own dedicated ground-defence capability, protecting airfields, aircraft, personnel and other vital operational assets.
This King's Crown version reproduces the RAF Regiment's full heraldic badge with the St Edward's Crown pattern associated with the reign of King Charles III. It combines the Regiment's crossed rifles and central Astral Crown with the light-blue circlet, gold laurel wreath and distinctive PER ARDUA motto scroll.
Precision 3D-printed and individually hand-finished in full colour, the badge is presented within a substantial 35 cm × 35 cm × 6 cm deep box display frame, creating a striking military heritage piece that arrives ready to hang.

About the RAF Regiment Badge
The Royal Air Force Regiment was established during the Second World War to provide the RAF with its own dedicated ground-defence force. From its wartime origins, the Regiment has developed into the RAF's specialist ground-fighting and force-protection force, supporting air and space operations around the world.
Its distinctive heraldic badge incorporates several elements closely associated with the Regiment:
-
The Crossed Rifles — Represent the Regiment's ground-combat role and its responsibility for defending RAF personnel, airfields and operational assets.
-
The Astral Crown — The crossed rifles are enfiled by an Astral Crown, a heraldic device associated with military aviation and air forces.
-
The King's Crown — This version is surmounted by the St Edward's Crown used on RAF badges during the reign of King Charles III. It is commonly known within military and collecting terminology as the King's Crown.
-
The Light-Blue Circlet — Bears the title ROYAL AIR FORCE REGIMENT, clearly identifying the Corps within the wider Royal Air Force.
-
The Gold Laurel Wreath — Surrounds the central device and forms part of the traditional RAF heraldic badge frame.
-
The Motto — PER ARDUA — Displayed on the scroll beneath the badge and officially translated as “Through Adversity.”
The RAF Regiment motto is distinct from the wider Royal Air Force motto, Per Ardua ad Astra, commonly translated as “Through Adversity to the Stars.”
