Morning. I think the badge Bill posted is an early striking. The GGHG were not formed until1936. The quality of the badges made in the late 30's / early wartime seem to be better than later strikings. The GGHG were created by an amalgamation of the Mississauga Horse and the Governor General's Body Guard in December 1936. New badges were required, which very neatly included elements of the designs of both previous units. Even though the design was approved in 1937, the badges still had to be struck and delivered. Not sure, but the pattern of delivery was sketchy in the pre war period due to finances and the lingering economic depression.
Bill, are the lugs on the better striking a bit longer than normal?
