the Canadian General List badge
I lead you a bit astray. For a Canadian General List officer's badge (at least mine), the wording "WM. SCULLY LTD." is on the back of the lion, and "MONTREAL" is on the unicorn side. As the lugs are brazed on over the maker marks, you only see part of each on each side. I've blown out the scan of the reverse side, sharpened it somewhat & circled the "Y LTD." that you should see just below the lion-side lug.
Dimensions of the Canadian Scully badge I have are 40mm wide (tail to tail) and just a hair under 35 mm high from crown to scroll bottom at center. While the badge you posted looks exactly like the one pictured in Tripp's "Canada's Army in World War II", mine is quite different: tiny lion on crown; more "left arm" showing on the lion; voiding between the unicorn's chain and back leg, as well as in the thistles at bottom; and reworked scroll.
So maybe mine is a WO's badge?
