18th Manitoba Mounted Rifles
Although the 221st isn't perpetuated by them, the bulldog is almost certainly borrowed from the 18th Manitoba Mounted Rifles cap badge design.

Good to see.
It would appear that emailing and explaining why it is a repro had a result.

Yes, the motto is frequently mis-spelled "GUIDICH" rather than the correct "CUIDICH". The " 'N" rather than "AN" in the Seaforth motto is also odd to me - there's no need to abbreviate "AN" to " 'N";...

I can attest to the authenticity of those cap badges.
I took the Infantry Section Commanders Course at Petawawa in the late spring/early summer of 1995 - just as The Canadian Airborne Regiment was being disbanded after Somalia. I can verify that the SSF...

That's what I'd assume.
I think you can comfortably assume it's for the U of Toronto; and since Ellis made items aren't encountered after WWI it's also safe to assume it's from the Great War era.

Chrome too.
I have a chromed cap badge for The Wellington Rifles, so as well as using grey metal the cadets in Guelph must also use chrome badges.
