The majority of pre 1958 infantry cap badges were sealed for the TA battalions in the 1960s who continued to wear the old pattern after the Regular Battalions had adopted the Brigade badges. Where the TA Bns had adopted a bespoke TA design, such as Queen's Surreys, Yorkshires, Bedfordshire, Suffolks then the badges were not required.
There were some badges, such as the Cameronians and York and Lancaster, that were worn by cadets long after 1968 well into the 1980's.
