Default Dealers?
Hi Canadian Experts,

I am looking for some suggestions as to good dealers in Canadian badges. I know most of the British dealers that have some Canadian wares, but am after some local knowledge. I know from posts here that Arctic Medals and Marway seem to have great reputations, but are there others I should know about?

I am only looking at WW1 badges at this stage.

Any guidance much appreciated

Cheers, Tim

Hello Tim, Several dealers offer Cdn badges; cpmil on ebay, Military Antiques Toronto, Lou Grimshaw (I think he has a web page), 8hussar on ebay, etc. In addition, there are lots of collectors on here who may have badges you want.

I have always had no problems with Tanya at Medals of war (Tanya Ursual, Military Antiquarian Inc). I have bought from her over the years and always had a good experience.
www.medalsofwar.com

Brent at Command Post in Victoria B.C. sells on ebay as "cpmil", very knowledgeable and stand up guy.

Kevin has a very nice website, lots of Canadian items.

Knew I was missing some. There are more, and if you come across a dealer, you can mention them.
I have done lots of business with Tanya and Kevin. Both reputable dealers.

I have lots of cap badges I haven't got around to listing on e-bay yet both king and Queens crown. Lots of the more common ones but a few harder to find ones. Let me know if interested. Cheers Brian

Thanks Brian,

At the moment I am particularly interested in the Canadian Cyclist Badges, which I know are not often seen around, and pricy, but if you had any, i'd be interested.

Many thanks, Tim
