Current Projects - Canadian Badges
You currently have 7 sections in this item, perhaps you should consider adding an additional section ... Post 1968 Badges. In 1968, Canada made, IMHO, a big mistake by amalgamating her 3 Forces into one "Canadian Armed Forces" with a "CF Green" Uniform for all 3 .... and, created a whole slew of "new" cap badges by dividing the Forces into "Branches".
The Navy became the Naval Branch, Radio Operators became members of the Communications Branch; Supply and Transport became "Logistics" Branch and so on. All of these Branches had their own different Cap Badges.
Most Army Regiments, however, did manage to keep their Regimental Cap, Collar, shoulder flash and shoulder titles insignia.
My suggestion is that you have a "Canadian Post 1968" category for those badges - propbably as # 5 on your list and renumber the remainder accordingly.
Some of the post-1968 badges are already listed in the Post-1953 section.
I'll make a list and send it in tomorrow night ... as it is getting late right now.
