Possibly Cdn. ID help please?
 

I offered to try to ID this badge for a friend. It is reportedly some early issue for Canadian Special Services. Just looking at the construction, I might guess it dates to the 1980's - 90's?? Can anyone tell me what it is?

Special Operations - Assaulter Badge
 

That is a nice find, it is the first version of the Special Operations Assaulter Badge and is current issue.

What order of dress is that worn on? DEU?

Thanks Ed. Having a name/description has brought up a few more images on the internet. So it goes on the Left breast pocket then? Does anyone have an image of it on a uniform? Thanks in advance.

Here you go, as worn on the Army DEU.

As Ed has stated, this is certainly a nice find. It's a scarce badge, and those who proudly wear it have busted their minds & bodies to earn the privilege to do so. An eBay vendor has been listing the same insignia for upwards of $200 CAD. Cheers,
