Default Halifax Rifles

Hi Guys,

What's the latest with the Halifax Rifles? Do they have their own issued metal hat badge yet? I've not seen any on ebay apart from a couple of officer bullion badges.

Regards,

Mick

Yes, there is an issued metal cap badge, collar badges and metal titles. There has only been one production run of badges so they are not too common yet.

Thanks mate.

I'm certainly keen on a set if anyone has any spares

One minor point: they're The Halifax Rifles, not the Halifax Rifles. The definitive article in capitalised in the name of most Canadian infantry and armoured regiments.

Nice to see this badge, thanks for sharing.

The quality seems quite poor though which is a pity.

Cheers, Roy.
