Hi folks

Thought I'd try these as a Canadian Post.

Are these Canadian manufactured rank badges, they could be British but they look a bit more subdued.

What would the larger one be, I haven't seen any references to this before.

Regards
Sean

Oh.....Nice price! Wonder if it is a WW1 item, did this rank even exist in WW1?
