Pictou Highlanders
Hi...I have been collecting Canadian badges for several years and believe I have a nice collection...
I am looking for some information on two questions 1) Is Mazeas Book 1920-1950 one of the best guides for collecting and for CEF badges Babin's book. I under stand from other collectors there is a CD available I do not now much about this..Also post ww2 book by Roy Thompson. These are the 3 books I use..Are there better ones out in the market 2) Can any one tell me the difference between "Pictou Highlanders" cap badge Mazeas M.117 and the "Seaforth Highlanders Of Canada" M.109.I had different collectors tell me there is no difference and other collectors tell me the Pictou Highlanders is a brass Cap badge which I have never seen one. Any information would be appreciated... Thank-You...Michael

Well, first you go to the top of the page and to the "search" item, then when it opens, you write key words about what you are looking for, in this case "Pictou" was sufficient, or "Pictou highlanders" could have done the job and click "go". In some cases you have to be more specific or use longer wording, like "Winnipeg" won't be enough but "Winnipeg Rifles will work and so on for different informations you might need. Then a "search results page" will show up with different levels of informations on your request THEN you have to do the research item by item........
I hope this will help you. Jo

Appears there is a brass one on eBay at the moment. Not advocating buying it or not buying it, but you can say you've seen one
