Another "bad" Can Para Corps badge
An example of the so called late war Canadian Parachute Corps badge. It is in brass, which is in keeping with the original issue. One could make quite a collection of Canadian Parachute Corps repros just in themselves.

A wise seller, Bill. Doesn't say anything about the badge except the size. Doesn't say anything in fact, so the onus is on the buyer.......

Well bgpipes, yes and no.
Jo A Canadian is sort of like an American, but without the gun. Anonymous Americans are benevolently ignorant about Canada, while Canadians are malevolently well informed about the United States. J.

Their torrid love affair with their own history and legend exceeded - painfully - the quasi-British Canadian idea of modesty and self-restraint . . .

I get the NRA well enough, but curling?????...that's kinda like housework on ice isn't it?
 I'm actually in no-man's land - my friends in the 'old country' think I'm armed & dangerous, & my friends in the states think I talk funny.

Americans and Canadians
 I have only the highest respect,and regard for Canada and many of the Canadians that I know personally,otherwise,I would not be in this beloved hobby. As a career police officer,I knew that it was far better to have a gun,and not need it, than to need a gun,and not have it. I know that if this country were suddenly "disarmed,by law", only the thugs and criminals would have them. That is NOT going to happen boys,at least in my lifetime. I take great pride in the fact that we have this long,unguarded border between us, and I never, ever want to see that changed. "UP THE CANUCKS"!

Hi bgpipes, once in a while it's good NOT to take ourselves too seriously and have fun at each other's quirks and idiosyncracies. I think we have been neighbour for far too long not to laugh at each other........all in good clean fun.
Regards bgpipes. Jo
