Just to help me understand. Is this an original collar that was changed to a slider? Or is it a newly stamped piece that was intended to have a slider by design? In the photo from the marsh...

Looks like the REICH cap badge issued without the overlay. Wonder if it was aimed at the NCO market or an early version of a "low contrast" badge. Either way, it is an interesting badge.

Thank you for your insight into this being a SWW badge. I was wondering what characteristics of the badge place it into that era. If the motto around the badge "Lord Strathconas...

I believe that the officer wearing the Air Operations cap badge is Capt Dave Brown. He was not a helicopter pilot when I last worked with him in 1975, but things do change. His original roots were...
