Default General Enlistment Cap Badges CEF Varieties

Hello,

I know there are several varieties of the GE Badge CEF.

I would like to the specific varieties as cataloged as per CROSS.

Can someone post the different varities of each.

I have a Type E but have several others in my collection but don't the specific as per CROSS.

if you can help it would be appreciated!

Thanx in advance!

Rob


I have identified Type E as Type 4

I have in the display case PW Ellis 1914 MM Roden Bros Toronto 1918 MM

The one on the far right is according to the shape diagram Type 6 star shape which is solid but not a smooth back.

Thanks Bill

For putting this together I am sure it will assist others in identifying the many varieties!

I will put up a post regards to 10-3 Scarce variety with details later today!

Merry Christmas

Default Album started

I have started an album of all the different types of Cdn General List badges (Maple Leaf Type) badges I have acquired to date.

I have uploaded images of 13 different variations of what I refer to as type 2 common badges. After the weekend I will upload varieties of the other types as indicated in the album.

Comments welcome. I am still astounded that there are so many, almost an endless number of variations. I know there are even more out there. Would be eager to see variations not listed here!

Merry Christmas to all.

Hi Bill, I just messaged you and commended you such detailed research. Well done.

I have to say with what I see in general of Canadian badges; quite daunting to embark on a collection in genral; with so many variants on not only this service badge but also the regiments and battalions for WW1

Regards

Simon.
