Default 1 Canadian Tank Bn

The flow of brass repros has made it to Canada. Caveat emptor. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CEF-1st-Tank...item3f53aa7a67

Other repro badgse for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW1-CEF-43rd...item3f53aea4d6
http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW1-CEF-17th...item3f53aea3e8
http://www.ebay.com/itm/68th-Battali...item3f537c082f
There may be more, but it is difficult to tell from the images. All of these badges are the type that have been offered in the UK for some time. And there are some glaring issues. The 17th Bn was only issued in wm.

Different Canadian seller but I wouldn't touch these either:

Poor quality castings, one brass and the silver one marked "Silver" another dead giveaway. Seller listed under "Original Period Items" and no indication they are wrong.

Yes, another pair of bad badges.
About a year and a half ago I was offered a "collection" out of southern Alberta. Images were sent and it was a salted lot. Some good, some bad and some truly ugly. Now the bad badges are being offered from all quarters. One, especially new to CEF collectors need to be thoroughly educated.
