Default Canadian Badge Identification

Bought a small mixed collection of badges the other day and have been sorting through them. I came across this one and am not sure about it. I believe it is a Siberian Expeditionary Force Cap Badge. Can anyone confirm this? What would it be worth too?

Scarce and desirable badge. At least $300 in today's market.

Default Siberian Expeditionary Force Cap Badge

Thanks all for confirming. As for the price, I have a few sources that suggest the value is much higher than $300, but we will see what happens.

Let's see - don't know what it is, don't know what it's worth - get free advice and list it on eBay.

I know I harp on this, but if you are going to ask for the Forum's help, then have the good manners to offer it to the Forum first.

Agree with you Phil. Did not like the request for value and when given poster states he has indication it is worth much more. If you know don't ask and if you do ask then accept the responses with grace and don't dist the replies people take time to offer.
