As a ww1 collector I have no real up to date grasp of ww2 Canadian badge values.The board I recently bought has a lot of good badges on it including a plastic para and an 8th recce maple leaf.Can anyone give me a rough idea for when I want to sell them.All the best Macandpud

Hi Macandpud, The plastic Canadian Parachute Corps badge needs to have the lugs, and for a premium price, the plastic pin. With the lugs, your badge is in the $500 plus range. The VIII Recce badges have skyrocketed in the last year. One sold last week for $550, but the prices realizes have been in the $800 range over the fall and up to now.
I am sure some others will add their thoughts on value.

Dear Bill Many thanks for your information.The para badge has plastic lugs on the back and the owner has scratched his initials L H inti it.The *th recce has normal lugs and two folded over wire tabs a couple of mm long to hold on the title.
