Hello Akiko,
The rarities in this lot are the the original pair of Canadian Parachute Corps officers' collar badges (silver cloud, EX COELIS inscription, gilt hand holding a downward silver dagger). These are quite scarce, and are seldom offered for sale.
The huge attraction are 2 other badges attributed to the WWII First Special Service Force. This was a combined Canada/USA elite commando unit which was known as the Devil's Brigade. These are the 2 circular brass dress uniform collar badges, one with a CANADA overlay, the other with stamped crossed arrows. There are many repros on the open market, however, authentic insignia are extremely hard to find. Cheers,
Walt
