Default 31st CEF dimensions

Can some kind soul confirm what the dimensions of the cap badge for this battalion are?

The one I have in my hand here looks like the bottom image type.

Hello Mike,

On the Cox's book i see the 31st CEF is a rather small cap badge.
High: about 32 mm
Width: about 37 mm

I hope that help you. Nice day in UK.
A french collector

Jean-Paul.

Thanks Jean-Paul, I'm coming over to the conclusion mine is a cap and not a collar! Although the dimensions are a little different to Cox.

Hello Mike,
I'm sorry, but believe that my old eyes have misled me ....
The height is really closer to 38.5mm!
Have a nice day in UK.

Default 31st Bn Badge Size

Hey Mike!!
HB: 35.95mm. My badge has a slight "bend" in it - that will distort the size slightly.
Col: 29.80mm
