Post War Canadian armoured regiments
Hi Mick, There are a couple of general collectors books if you can find them. (I would check ABE books for these titles.)
Thompson Roy, Cap Badges & Insignia of the Canadian Army 1953-1973.
Tripp F. Canada's Army in World War II.
In addition to these collector's handbooks, I would reccomend Marteinson et al, The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps: An Illustrated History. This includes many illustrations including badge graphics.
As far as post war Canadian armoured regiment / corps / branch badges, most are available, and should be reasonable prices. There are a couple of exceptions to this, the Halifax Rifles in queen's crown and the 19 Alberta Regiment RCAC. The last badge was only used for a short period of time from the late 40's to 1954. That was then replaced by the 19th Alberta Dragoons pattern badge. (The 19th Alberta Dragoons have a long history and many patterns of badges that are very similar.)
