Any and all opinions / comments welcome.

Hello Bill. All the badges look good. The 29th are not CEF, they are to the 29th Waterloo Regiment authorized 1905.

Thanks Bill. My little CEF collection is steadily growing

All are very nice, the 29th set is a beauty.

Hi Mike,

Thanks. Unfortunately they are all singles so I guess I'll be looking for opposites for them

Good point to bring up. Most CEF collars were non-oriented and worn either side (they were made without a left/right orientation), or they were only made in one orientation and worn on both sides. Of course to every rule there are exceptions, and there are many battalions which had matched pairs of collars made. Of note, the 44th is not oriented and the 195 only comes in the one orientation. (The central device on the 195th is part of the City of Regina official crest and it would be inappropriate to reorient the bison.) The 217th is an example of a collar made in only one orientation, as far as I have seen.
I should have noted in my first reply that the 29th Waterloo Regt collar is likely an officer's pattern given the construction.

Thanks Bill,

Is there any books on CEF badges?
