Help with thes badges
I am currently re-carding my Canadian badge collection and trying to put them in order of when they would have been worn, Great War, WWII and post WWII which included King's crown and Queens crown, however I have a few that are not included as far as I can see in my copy of Babin and Canada's Army in World War II by F.R. Tripp.
The first group of badges:- Royal Canadian Engineers, KC, GvR I think was worn between 1932 up to and after GviR 's Coronation, is this correct? 31st British Columbian Horse, KC, is this correct and was this worn pre Great War? Black Watch, KC, copper/brass metal Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, copper/brass metal The late Hugh King told me the last two were Canadian, but not what period they were worn. Thanks for looking and hoping my queries can answered. Rob

31st BC Horse looks good. Other ranks' cap badge. Canadian Militia (not CEF). Worn pre 1920. There should be a Gaunt plate on the reverse.

Help with these badges
Has anyone got any information on the Black Watch and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders?
These badges have always seemed a bit of a mystery, maybe militia? Thanks for looking. Rob

A&SH
Rob, I don't think the A&SH badge is Canadian. The Canadian A&SH badge usually has the front facing Cat's head in its badges.
Yours looks like the British badge. Ian

Argyll and Sutherland in Brass
Thanks chaps for your thoughts on this badge, I do have a white metal A&SH with the cat's face in the centre, the brass A&SH I was told by Hugh King was Canadian.
Scottish all brass badges were deemed to be fakes apart from the Royal Scots Fusiliers who always had G/M as their badges, could this badge be a previous one worn before the cat? Rob

A&SH
Luke, those big bottomed squirrel like cat are as you say repros, not actually checked my badge's cat for a big bottom but I will bear that in mind.
I have had this badge for a good number of years, but that makes no difference. Thanks again. Rob
