Default Royal 22nd Regiment pins, I think.

I recieved this pair of pins in a large lot of badges and I am not certain what they are. I believe they may be pins associated with the 50th Anniversary of The Royal 22nd Regiment, they are constructed out of heavy brass with 3 enameled formation signs which I believe are, 1st Canadian Div(WW2), 2nd Canadian Div Officers (WW2) and 35th Canadian Brigade (Korea), I believ they are topped with a tiny version of the Van Doo badge. 34 x 32 mm. Can anyone verify if my guess is correct?

Hi Bconley, Your id is good. In the First World War the Vandoo's fought in 2 Canadian Division (the CII), and in the Second World War, they mobilized with 1 Canadian Infantry Division. The shield shape badge is for 25 Brigade, a Korean War patch which was subsequently used as a national identifier on some taskings. With the 50 on it, your suggestion that the pin is for that anniversary fits the bill.
