CACR flash ebay
What are your opinions on this Canadian Armoured Carrier Regt flash.
I like the backing, but the front seems off. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CANADIAN-A...item23531bb68f Here are two from my collection. Last edited by Tanker Mike; 08-10-15 at 06:40 PM. |

Looks like the late war pattern that arrived at the unit just as they were being disbanded. They are okay, but no evidence that they were worn.

These titles were worn by a few individuals, but not many. I have a couple examples taken from a uniform. I have a summer 1945 portrait of a Trooper wearing this style of title on his BD and I have a named great coat with these titles on it (though...most certainly applied and worn postwar)
The title for sale is okay, but in typical unused condition. These were mostly treated as souvenirs, being issued just a few days before disbandment. Bill

Bill, you should publish your research on the 1 CACR badges...it is really needed.

Another CACR ebay listing, this one with the paper backing. Not one for a display of authentic wartime titles. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-Canadian...item4884890239
(Nudge... Bill M, again.)

I contacted the seller on this one as he did ask for additional information in his listing. It is an 1980's repro out of the UK.
One of my examples, I took apart to examine the newspaper used in the backing and it was a classified ads section for used cars. (various Austins and Vauxhalls IIRC)

Hmm. Actually Bill, I think the phrase is,
"Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, (say no more)"
