Default CANADIAN BAGES post 1953

The B&CMBF is growing again. Mike has added an index for post 1953 badges. Please review the list and make sure it is accurate. Images are the next step. Good quality scans or images of badges will be added as members submit them. The queen's crown issue is more complex than anticipated when one examines the varieties of badges. QC badges have been on issue now for 57 years, longer than the kc issue. There are early qc, pre unification, the dark ages of the 70's through the 90's and then the more recent issues. Added to this are the designation changes and the other ranks and officer's badges. The aim is to include caps, collars, shoulder titles metal and cloth, breast badges, etc, specific to the unit, regiment, branch or corps. We will have to work out some guidelines for classification. For example I don't think RCAF CAF squadron patches should be included in this index, but could be in one of their own. JF Chalifoux has a pretty good site for those already, and there are others on the net. Open to the memberships thoughts...
It will take time to develop the post 53 reference, and as many collectors do not have as serious an interest in the time period it will be an on-going project.
Please send images to me or Mike for posting.
