Hi Mike, The CAC patch is for a wind breaker or sweatshirt. That design was worn from 1940 ish until 1949 ish. The bullion wire badge for the RCAC was post unification (1968). What size is it?

The wire RCAC badge can be bought through the RCAC School kit shop and is worn by officers posted to the school.

Hi Sarge, thank you for that information, I suppose the next question is what collar badges do they wear with it? Also do you know the time frame of either badge? thanks again best wishes Mike

The Algonquin Regiment bullion badge is a current / recent officer's badge.

The only staff that give up their Regimental cap badge for a bullion RCAC badge, while in a School position, is: Commandant 2 i/c Adjt and RSM *Not sure if the Ops O does or not these days. They return to their Regt'l affiliation once their time in that posn is up, unless going higher, IE full Col or Base+ RSM posn. Officer Candidates @ the School, up to completing the Troop Leader's course 1.2, wear the metal corps badge. regards Darrell
