I think by the "finish" -Frosted Gold, it is the 1920-1950 badge but they seem to be all so similar.

As the folding tangs did not find usage after 1919 I would place this fine looking badge in the 1914 -19 era.Although that gilding is known of Gaunt Montreal badges pre 1914 but would certainly be a carry over into the CEF PERIOD
