Yorkton Regiment Badges & Information
 

My small collection of officers and other ranks badges. Any opinions, information, etc. about these badges and The Yorkton Regiment in general would be greatly appreciated.

Paul

When you mean this including lineage, I can offer you this: The Yorkton Regiment

BTW, what about the drilled holes in the first badge? Vandalism?

Hello Paul, The badge with the drilled holes appears to be an officer's badge that has lost the overlay or the overlay was never applied.
Not sure exactly what you mean by information? About the badges or the regiment?

The drilled holes are for mounting a silver overlay.

Thank you for the lineage reference.

Information about both the Regiment and it’s badges. As far as the drilled holes go this is the information supplied by the seller:

1926 era, Yorkton Regiment, OFFICER'S, Cap Badge. Dull Gold Gilt, two small holes for Overlay, but no overlay (Many years ago I was told that when the Officer's of the Regiment obtained their badges that there where more badges than Officer's so they removed the overlays from some and they issued these to senior NCO'S, I have never seen this in writing just going by what I was told, I have seen the Officer's badge with the overlay, also brass issue for the men) Makers mark, J.R. GAUNT/MONTREAL/MADE IN ENGLAND. Lug fasteners. Beautiful badge and in excellent condition. Mazeas M158a.

Ah, I see, nice result when complete.

Very nice badges Paul, thanks for showing them. I have seen an officers badge with the silver overlay but I couldn't reconcile the price and decided to pass on it. PM me if you want the name of the dealer as I believe it is still available.

Regards,

Greg
