64th CFA Badge
Here is the reverse of the badge and shoulder title .
Tang style fasteners on the badge . We didn't unfold them to determine if there was a makers mark. |

The tangs are a characteristic of the authentic CFA badges. There are not likely any maker marks, but the CFA badges have been attributed to Hemsley.
The CEF Field Artillery Batteries used a different numbering sequence than the pre-war and post-war militia. The 1920 orbat had a 64th Battery in Yorkton Saskatchewan.

Artillery Badges
Thanks for the info everyone. Much appreciated.
This artillery numbering system seems to be a whole different set-up . Flipping through an older auction catalogue a 64th Overseas Field Battery badge is listed , " Brass Cap Badge , Babin 12-64 , McHugh Type A ." Picture is the same as ours . No back photo though, can't see fasteners. Badge in previous lot is 61st Overseas Field Battery , Babin 12-61 , McHugh Type B . Same auction . The difference being the 61st has 2 laurels of maple leafs beside Canada and the number 61 . 64th badge has no laurels of leaves. Who or what is McHugh ? This gets confusing . Robert. |
