Canadian CEF Officers Badges - 8th and 10th - Hicks & Sons, London
Two nice CEF badges, can someone please confirm they are officers' badges? And what would the value be? The 10th is missing one lug!

Andy, the first one looks like Royal Winnipeg Rifles.

Charlton First Ed. (1991) calls both of them officer's badges, $30-$45 for the 8th Winnipeg and $50-$70 for the 10th. The bi metal Winnipeg Hicks sells between $40-$70 these days. No idea about the 10th, but it is a popular badge. Now buy my price guide

David is right re the 10 CEF, it is an officers version. The 8th, I'm not so sure as it's a very common badge in bi-metal. I'm pretty sure it was worn pre and post WW 1 so that may account for the numbers one sees.
The 8 CEF officer badges I have in my collection contain sterling silver versions and bi-metal ones as well - both worn pre and post WW1. Sterling badges are certainly officers issue, the others - not sure. Is there a 8th CEF, Winnipeg Rifles specialist out there? Greg

I THINK that the 8th Bn badge is an OR's.
