Phillip,

I have the marksman badge too and was told it was Australian from the 60's, the MP badge can be dated anywhere from the early 80s, some of the RMP still wear that pattern now although the new version is worn by most of them.
Hope this helps.
Bill

Philip, the Canada shoulder title is for the post-war (1950's-1960's) RCAF uniforms.Worn until unification, roughly 1968-69.

HI Philip, The Canada/eagle patch is the RCAF nationality title, worn from the 50's through unification in 1968. They come in lefts and rights.
