Default Hi every body, un grand bonjour depuis la France !

Good evening,
I am a French collector and I hope you will excuse my poor English.
I am a collector of militaria items for many years and I discovered a cap badge in an flea market a few months ago. Actually a Canadian cap of the British Columbia Regiment.
Looking for its origin, I discovered the universe of cap badge and they passionate me more and more. I have acquired others on ebay (these objects are rarer in France) but, of course, I always ask myself the question of their authenticity and their dating (I collect essentially pieces of the two world wars).
I hope to find here, with your help, how to answer these questions (I already realized that the cap badge of the Glider Pilot Regiment that I coveted is not good ...) and I hope you will Excuse my neophyte questions.
Best regards,
Marco

Bonsoir Marco et bienvenue sur ce site où l'on apprend toujours quelque chose. Je collectionne les insignes des régiments écossais 1860-2017 depuis trente ans et je découvre encore des renseignements intéressants. C'est ça la collection. En plus plein de renseignements sur les copies, faux et autres pièges à éviter.
Bonne chasse.
Jean-Marie
