Thanks. An excellent image. I was under the impression the collars were much smaller. (Unless he is wearing cap badges as collars.)

I think they are cap badges, they look a bit on the large size perhaps about the same as the British ACC.

Hi
I have an original canadian cyclist badge converted to a sweetheart, family piece. Always thought it was a cap badge until a got a cap badge. This family badge is bigger than a collar and smaller than a cap. But was worn as it has had its lugs removed to convert to brooch.
So have I got a small cap? Or large collar as the portrait indicates?
Regards
Dan

Hi Dan, With the beaver facing right on the medium sized badge, I would say it is a large collar.

The real challenge would be to find a matched pair.
