Fasteners..CEF collars... Definitive answers?
Sorting through my accumulation of CEF collars, there is a wide variety of fasteners. Flat lugs, wire lugs, and pin and catch/clip assemblies. Many collectors consider the pin and clip fasteners as an indication that the collar is a sweetheart. I think this is not the case, and many issue collars were simply fitted with pin/clip fasteners. Thoughts?

I have 172nd CEF collars with flat stamped lugs, marked OB Allan. They came from an estate with other 172nd and 54th items.
Previously, I had seen lots of 172nd collars, marked OB Allan, with th ehinde and clasp fitting for a pin, but the pin was missing. Since the 172nd were recruited in BC and sent overseas to be broken up as reinforcements, I have wondered if teh pin type collars were overruns converted to sweethearts. Phil

Most of the CEF Nova Scotia Highland Brigade Officers collars are pin back other then those I think all other CEF Nova Scotia collars were originally lugged I have seen a number of them converted to pinback but they always show signs of lugs. For example the 112th Battalion officers collars made by Brown are normally found as pinback but they also show that they once had the lugs removed.
