Hi Bill,

Grand idea. I'm assuming any period?

If so here are my four:

Prince Rupert Machine Gun.
215th Infantry Battalion.
4h Divisional Ammunition Column.
McGill Overseas.

Pics attached for interest.

Cheers, Roy.

Simon, That marking is quite unusual. Birks marks were usually on the actual body of the badge. Any chance of an image?

Calgary Highlanders oak leaf shoulder badges were made by Birks at some point; I have maker-marked badges in my stores. These used to be highly prized.

Bill, I used to have a Birk's marked SSR badge. I sold it in 2013. I think I still have photos?
