RCA bullion wire officer's badge Airborne.
 
The Royal Canadian Artillery provided an element for the now disbanded Special Service Force. Airborne qualified, the officers of the airborne artillery element wore a bullion wire beret badge with the maroon backing. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mrkti2j73t...5.49.jpg?raw=1

The Engineers (2 CER) also had an example. Wire bullion badges were not only authorized for Officers, but also CWOs.

Thanks Ed. Always something of which a collector isn't aware.
