We were reserves, but i was offered work every day including advanced party to bases or just anything....i just love wearing the combats. I was begging all the time to go to Para school witch was being offered, but i don't know anyone that got it. I did four jumps with retired paras, but not an official military jump.

GGHG chrome KC badge
Gentlemen;
This might hopefully clear up the origin of the GGHG KC cap badge that 1canpara was asking about. My late father was an employee of Balfour/Balfirm in Sherbrooke, Que in the 1980's. That company made many different badges for the Canadian Forces. I remember that around 1984 he gave me a bag containing several of the exact same GGHG, KC chromed badges. The rest of the bag contained a variety of then current, QC badges. He told me that they were shop samples. Hope this helps a bit. Bob |

Ronald LeBlanc GGHG qc and kc badges

crowns easily broke off because of the slider fasteners affixed on the back of the crowns; the KC patterns continued to be issued until the problem solved. |

Wow. Just, wow.
I have one of these badges, essentially given to me; and desipte its obvious problems, have kept it . . . just in case. It's amazing to learn that I can now put it in my 1967+ collection! Thank you 1CanPara/Mike, if you are still on these boards.
