Hello Everyone
This is a very interesting and informative site, very impressive.
I am new to the "collecting" of military badges and medals. I have some of my own as a retired member of the RCAF reserve plus I have inherited several from my great-grandfather, father, and great uncles. I have had these for years but only recently began to do anything with them. My focus to this point has been more genealogical. I am currently filling in the uniform details of one of my Great Uncles. He was a member of the PPCLI from 1915 until he was KIA in Avion France March 1918. I have several of his medals plus a brass Canada shoulder title and one collar dog. I have acquired a Marguerite cap badge to add to my planned display. I was told it was from the WW1 period but I am no expert. There are quite a number of differences between it and others I have seen online. I have read in these forums about the problem of reproductions/and fakes but would not necessarily be able to distinguish one from another. I have attached images of my acquisition. Nick |
