Default Canadian Correspondent titles

Not everything goes through on line auctions. I recently acquired these titles, which are a slip on, a bullion wire title and the regular Correspondent Canada title. According to the seller, the patches came from the estate of Bill Bos, a noted Canadian War Correspondent in WW2 and Korea. Rare items.

Default Buying badges

Despite all the talk of online sales, this is proof that the good stuff is still out there, you just have to get off your computer seat and look.

Hi Luc, Yes to the best of my knowledge, they did wear that. But I think there were other headdress badges as well?
