Default Royal Canadian Armoured Collection

From an older collection. The tags were created by the original owner in the 60's and early 70's. These boards were displayed at local insignia shows. There are likely some mistakes and possibly a few filler pieces to complete the display. All input and corrections are most welcome. Had to photo in 3 sections to get this board all in. There is a 2nd board to this Armoured group and will post later. Hope you enjoy, Jack

Thanks for the positive comments fellas. I have looked them over a number of times and have picked up a fair amount regarding unit lineage.
