Hello Jon, It is a sweetheart pin for that CEF battalion. Sweethearts are a collectible area in themselves. There are many varieties of sweethearts, and yours appears to be the type made from the collars, with gilt enamel finish.
As to scarcity, that is more difficult to determine. Most battalion sweethearts are sold for between $25 to $50 Cdn. Sterling pins usually sell for more.
