Hi natal01. Badges seem to have had an universal appeal. Some really good Canadian badges show up in Great Britain (logically enough), and Australia. Now we can add South Africa.
The badges in your accumulation are mixed lot. The top left plastic badge is a good example of the plastic Canadian Parachute Corps issue cap badge. The bottom left badge was the cap badge worn by now defunct Canadian Airborne Regiment (1968 - 1995). The two badges in the right hand of the image are both reproductions / non-issue badges.
The plastic Canadian Para Corps badge is one of the most difficult WW2 Canadian issues to find. There is a small plastic pin that came with the badge, which is almost never found.
