My thinking is Canadian Grenadier Guards. It has the same cypher, the laurel of maple leaves, and the grenade, "charged" at the base of the colour as the CGG. If it is for some other regiment or dignitary, it is the same as the CGG.
Just a thought... Sergeant at Arms, in the various legislatures, would they wear such insignia?

Hi Jim

To satisfy my curiosity could I ask you to post photographs of the comparable arm badges worn by the Canadian Grenadier Guards and the Canadian Guards at the end of this exercise please?

Best wishes

Gordon
