Royal Winnipeg Rifles Unknown Pattern....to me.
Hello all. Can anyone tell me something about this Royal Winnipeg Rifles, which by the size, is not a collar 1 1/2 X 1 3/4 wide.So, a pre-1914 bi-metal officer's badge or a very well made ORs. Similar to a 1913 pattern badge but without the"90th Winnipeg Rifles" banner underneath.Or is it M-128.???
All and any comments will be appreciated. Jo http://www.militaria.qc.ca/w1.jpg http://www.militaria.qc.ca/w2.jpg

Hi Jo, I think that is a variety of the M128 badge.

My thoughts are it's an 8th battalion WW1 officers badge made in London when they were overseas....

Certainly could be. It is a nice badge and even more so with the mm.
