There are C of C numbers well over 3000 that I have seen. After going through literally thousands of docs, including the Cadet Services files held at LAC, it is very likely that corps shoulder titles would be mentioned. But they are not. Especially if there were titles issued on a per person or by corps basis. It is pointed out in a series of docs that the Cadet Services did not have an authorized shoulder title.
The time period that the original post refers to is the very early time period, pre 1914 or into the 20's and 30's. Yes, there are always things done that do not have authorization or slip by approvals. But there number of individual C of C numbers would suggest a comprehensive issue, not something that was done ad hoc. Especially if it was across the geography of Canada.
