Fantastic badges, but check out the prices!! I initially thought that the seller was asking $5,500 for the lot. Wow.

They look good, finding a matched set of collars is nice, but the price, wow.

Pretty sure I'm going to pass on adding that one to my collection - Yep, I'm sure!!! I doubt my whole collection is worth that much!

It's official,

The Canadian Garrison Battalion Officer's badge sold this last week from a Calgary dealer, for over $10,000 Canadian.

The value of our "military ephemera" collections keep increasing, as does the cost of gasoline, cars, houses and food.

That badge - were it to be re-sold any time soon - would be valued at around $12,000.00

As a collector of WWII Allied insignia, I have to say the most expensive badges I have acquired to date were both Canadian. But then both were for obscure sought after units, so I can live with it!

Cheers……John

Even scarcer is the plastic Garrison Battalion other ranks' badges.
