Hi,

Here is a thread that includes a picture of my 50th badge.
Others should be able to comment on the badge you have shown.

hello,
it's not a 50th CEF battalion badge. This is a 50th Regiment (Gordon Highlanders of Canada) 1913-1920 badge, worn on the feather bonnet with a black leather rosette and on the glengarry without.

regards.
Jean-Marie

Jean-Marie has the id. The badge looks good. It is not a known victim of repro badges.

While I agree with the identification as the 50th Regiment, I think the Regiment was titled
50th Regiment "Highlanders". No Gordon involved.

the subtitle 'Gordon Highlanders of Canada' appears in numerous books, articles and designations, official or not. Regimental buttons, sporran badges and shoulder titles had the mention Gordon Highlanders.
Here is an official poster from the Recruiting Office in 1914

Ok, you convinced me. I went by the DHH Website, which says:
Quote:
The 50th Regiment originated in Vancouver, British Columbia on 15 August 1913, when an "8 company Highland Regiment of Infantry" was authorized to be formed.8 It was designated the '50th Regiment "Highlanders"' on 21 November 1913.9 On 12 March 1920, it was amalgamated with the '88th Regiment Victoria Fusiliers', as above.
