The tank battalion badge is a Marsh catalogue fake.

Yes Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Indian, South African and even French.
Most of the non-British badges feature in the later editions, Vol 2 and 3. |

Foru Infantry Badges
Pending views of the back and verdict from other more knowledgeable members, rough time frame for the four Infantry unit badges are as follows:
Lake Superior Scottish, KC - 1949 (when changed from Infantry, Lake Superior Regt. to a Highland unit) until 1954, at which time changed to QC; RCR - OR's hat badge 1911-1919 (appears to be manufactured by Tiptaft in UK in 1917; PPCLI - Post WWI until at least WWII (appears to have a slider poking out from the bottom, so might be for wear on the Wolseley helmet; and 7th Regt. (Fusiliers) - Pre-WWI to 1920, when redesignated the Western Ontario Regiment (hat badge looking similar to 1st Bn CEF badge), then in 1924 re-redesignated as the Canadian Fusilers (hat badge looking similiear to British Royal Fusiliers hat badge). Hope this helps. Ian

Canadian queries
Here are photos of the backs of the badges, the 7th Fusiliers came with a collection I bought over fifty years ago.
The PPCLI badge has had a replacement slider added. I am surprised at the quality of the strike for the 1st Tank Battalion of Canada, it is very crisp with lots of detail on the reverse for a reproduction badge. Thanks to all who have shown an interest and guided me on the subject of these badges. Best wishes Rob |

Rob, the RCR, Lake Sups, 7th Fusiliers and PPCLI are all good. The tank badge as noted by Luke is a fake.

Many thanks Bill for your approval of the four badges, I would have been surprised if they had not been good, honest items.
I cannot remember where the 1st Tank Battalion of Canada came from, certainly not bought as an individual item, probably in a collection I bought at auction. Regards Rob |
