Canadian Corps of Signals variations

[Bill A]

Two different dies of the Canadian Corps of Signals badges. One badge is slidered while the other is lugged. Interesting that there are varieties in the badges. The CCS existed, as permanent force for a short period of time, circa 1920-1921. The militia component existed until 1936 when it was granted the "Royal" prefix.

Hi Bill...
I was surprised when I picked up a slider version last year at the Peterborough show. Now how many variants of RCCS Kings crown 10 -15 ? I have at least 10 variants

The CCS badge was developed after the Commenwealth (Signals) meeting. the various Signal Corps developed similar badges with national specific designs. the progression of the Canadian Signals was : Canadian Signal Corps, Canadian Corps Of Signals (Permenent and Non), Royal Canadian Corps Of Signals (Non-Permenent/Militia assumed "Royal" in the 30's), C&E Branch.

There are many variations of all badges. I have CCS lugged, tang, slider and post badges. Void and non-void crowns. Spelling errors. Finish (OSD, Brass, Gilt and "silvered"). Fonts are different, Jimmy is different. Stamped and Cast. Plus there are a few "weird" badges out there that just do not make any sense for what they are or who wore them - but they are "Signals".

And now, thankfully, back to The Royal Canadian Corps of Signals.

There are new metal shoulder titles being introduced. I have not heard anything about the cap badge to date.

Hello Bill,

Will the new badges be titled RC SIGS? If so, this would perpetuate the insignia used prior to unification.
