Hello Missing Something. There is no real difference from the point of use. They were maded by different makers, but could have been worn by any Canadian Engineer.

Thanks Bill, I found both and was just wondering if one was militia issue and the other permanent force.

Hello All.

Here are a couple other examples of the GvR and CE badges Circa WW1. Unfortunately the GvR badge is missing a lug, but still nice.
