Canadian Colonel?

[woolybully]

Hello experts!

I'm after a little help with this epaulette / shoulder board. If taken at face value it would appear to be Canadian Colonel full dress shoulder board, however lots of googling had not been able to confirm this. It would appear that modern Canadian Colonels have the insignia of 4 stripes.

So, is this real? and if so, could you identify the era? are we talking WWI? I took possession of it along with other items, most of which are roughly 1900-1930.

http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...p?albumid=1907 is the link to my album.

Any pointers, ideas, comments would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, Welcome to the Forum.
You have a shoulder board probably for the dress blues 50's-60's era. With unification in 1968, the rank insignia was switched to the "stripes". Even then, many officer's continued to wear the older rank on the blue patrols and mess kit.

Very often units do not wear the brass shoulder titles on the cords, so perhaps this is from WW1 or WW2?

With a queen's crown?

Bill A is right ...a dress tunic or patrol jacket adornment probably from the 1960's pre unification...

Unfortunately, the Silver title, as oppose to gold/brass, doesn't narrow it down much at all. Classy item, though.
