Manitoba Mounted Rifles
 

Good day,

I have a Manitoba Mounted Rifles cap badge (lugged) that was part of my father's collection that I inherited in 2001. The badge looks like a solder repair was started and the clean-up part was not completed.

I know that it is a supposedly difficult badge to find, and I'm just trying to figure out a way forward as its' not really in my areas of interest (WWII Canadian Army Northwest Europe and Sicily/Italy, Commonwealth Airborne, RCEME / pre-RCEME, Canadian Army in Korea and Artificer & Canadian Trades badges).

I'd like to put this out for discussion:
a. what have I got, in its' present state;
b. opinions whether to clean up the solder, or leave it as-is;
c. Interest out there in this badge.

Thanks,
Steve J.

Thats too bad its got the solder all over. Not sure if its able to be cleaned off. Could be interested if its possible to clean up. Cheers Brian

Its a very collectable badge, too bad about the solder, a jeweler may be able to help, it would not be do it yourself project, in my experience a professional is always the best with this type of repair.
