The Canadian Forestry Corps was re-created May 1940....officially disbanded 1st Sept. 1945. It had 20 companies with a strenght of 220 officers and 6,771 ORs...So the wearing of this badge falls between these two dates.
As for the crud on the badge...I usually try dipping for a few minutes in lemon juice and using an old toothbrush.
