Default Strathcona's Badge

The badge posted is a Gaunt style WW1 type, The original WW1 Gaunt style Strathcona's badge had a slider on the rear, yours has lugs. These badges have had a re strike in early 1970's and have had a JR Gaunt plate added the back, with lugs. Yours appears to be a re strike type.

The Regiments cap badge since 1909 has changed over the years, and this was done due to the many manufactures of the early badges and changes to styles. The main Regimental badge was not standardized until 1919, based of TipTaft style, made by Scully. And was the longest worn badge 1919-1967 as seen in photos.

The Regiment is my main focus with in collecting, and I served with the Regiment for over 26 years.

Cheers

Anthony
