Royal Canadian Mounted Police Wedge Cap
Good Evening Everyone......
Just thought I would post a picture on my latest find..... As you know I am not really a badge collector so as far as I know this is authentic..... It was purchased from an estate with a Stetson, Sam Brown and a couple of other odds and sods..... I looked in the reference book, Uniforms of the Canadian Mounted Police by Boulton and it is mentioned there and a few photos but with a shinny badge and as you can see this is muted..... Comments welcome..... Oh yes..... Inside there is a label Buffalo Cap, ????? "7" ?????, Winnipeg, 1942. Mike

Hello Everyone.....
I have just been advised that the badge could be Figure 7-20 from Don Klancher's book on the insignia of the Canadian Mounted Police..... Mike

Sorry Bill no name in the cap but along with it I got a bunch of Quarterlies and was told that the Grandfather is mentioned in them..... I got them last weekend and to he honest forgot to ask the name.....
My Mother who I am afraid is now suffering with Alzheimer's worked with them in CMHQ during the war and after coming here was with the force for 25 years..... She had a number of stories that she told over and over again including about a number of members commandeering a double decker bus as a vehicle to move a wedding party and all the guests...... Mike QUOTE=Bill A;276405]Mike, Do you have a name? No 1 Cdn Provost Coy was made up of RCMP volunteers. They wore the RCMP cap badge throughout the war.[/QUOTE]
