It is the Grey & Simcoe Foresters of the Canadian militia. (My previous unit.) That particular badge is the St. Edwards pattern made circa 1970 through the early 80s.

Additional. These St Edward's crown badges are notorious for the crown and or slider breaking off.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Just assumed it was a fake or a version of the Worcs and S/Foresters regt I was unaware of.

Cheers
