RCAC badge question
 
Looking at the RCACA website, http://www.rcaca.org/En/indexLM.asp?ID=1 show an Armoured Corps badge for 1969 with the word ARMOUR in place of RCAC on the mailed fist. My question is, does anyone have an example of this badge or is this what was proposed but never made or issued? I've never seen one but that doesn't mean that they don't exist.
Cheers,
John

Thompson (Cap badges and Insignia of the Canadian Army 1953-19730: Vol 3) says: "Cap and collars now made with word 'Armoured' instead of RCAC and small maple leaf on wrist of gauntlet above plate with 'Armoured' on."

Poking about the web, I found one photo of a wire blazer badge with ARMOUR, as illustrated, and lots of pics. of cap badges with the maple leaf and CANADA, like the 1974 picture on your link. Given the dates under the illustrations on that link, looks like it was used.
