One would never remove the hackle and add the touree, unless it was an unscrupulous seller. The touree has been removed since late 1945.

Caubeens were still being produced with the tourie in the 1950s. But think it was removed before wear.

Thanks for that, I have a couple of 1950's dated caubeens, I can't remember the (Canadian) manufacturer offhand, they both have touries, one a Kings crown badge, both have been worn.
