Default Canadian Legal Trade Badges

Hi

I am curious to see if there is current or past Canadian Legal trades insignia besides the Air Force half wing.

Also, is there a legal trade cap badge without Mylar? Just in the regular yellow thread instead of the gold?

Any pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks.

To start, there is an enamel/gilt badge that was issued early in the CF period.

Thanks, Bill. I had forgotten about the metal cap badge. Yes, I doo have that one.

Are CF lawyers still wearing collar badges? For that matter, are collar badges still worn at all?

There are the private purchase embroidered (not mylar) officers' cap badges.
From what I recall, the mylar cap badges replaced the NCMs' embroidered cap badges. I don't think there was a "thread embroidered" issue for the Legal Branch.

As Phillip points out the gold(en) wire badges are a purchase item, usually worn on the beret. I don't know of an "issued" cloth badge. NCMs serving within JAG/AJAG retain their own branch badges (Logistics, Navy, etc)

There is a current metal badge worn by RCN Legal Officers in the peak cap / bowler. I'm not sure if this is a different pattern than the one Bill mentioned?
Pretty sure it's affixed with a slider.

Cheers,

Adam
