PPCLI officer's cap and badge
Thought I would post a few pictures of my latest acquisition:
I picked up the cap from Marway here in Winnipeg. I had my eye on it for quite some time, but it was missing its original badge (Jaime informed me it had been stolen). As a cap collector, I couldn't resist. After a bit of a hunt, I was able to locate and purchase a beautiful Scully made sterling badge from Lou Grimshaw. The screw posts were a perfect match for the original holes on the cap, and the badge is a perfect fit over the imprint/discolouration left from the original badge. Definitely one of the finer pieces in my cap collection! Last edited by ledfut; 25-05-13 at 12:33 AM. |

hi led,
I collect RCN & have several caps in my collection. & I love the old pre integration caps, & this example you have is surely a superb quality example! The pre integration cloth covered visors are something we will never see in Canada again, unfortunately..... Some are photo'd in Clive Law's latest book, pages 68-70 but how about posting some more from yr collection? best... RCN Bryan |

Hi Chris, A note about the SD & G officers' cap badges. They were available in both sterling silver and silver plate.
