Greetings and questions
 
Hello everyone!

New member here and happy to have stumbled upon this wealth of knowledge. I am currently working on a collection of RCD badges and titles. I have a few WWI Era cap badges, and a EVIIR Era badge on its way. I'm wondering if there are any books or reference materials that I can cite for reference when looking to expand my collection. I understand there was a book by Mazeas. But are there any other ones I should pick up?

I am also currently collecting RCAC badges as well and have a nice collection going there as well. Again if there are any solid reference material I'd be happy to gain any input!

Cheers

Brad

Hello Brad, Welcome to the Forum. Your account is active and open for posts. There are a few Canadian collectors here that contribute.
There are two books by Mazeas, the Pre-1914 one and the 1920-1950 one. Check through the treads here. The RCD badge has been discussed a few times.

Hello everyone! Thanks for the warm reception!

Phillip I certainly will give you a shout next time I am up in Kingston!
