Default Canadian Parachute Corps maker marked
This should end all the debates. A maker marked Canadian Parachute Corps cap badge, with a slider! Keeping up with the Jones won't be hard to do. (Sarcasm intended.)

His NZ Pioneer Corps cap badge marked WD Tiptaft&Son on the slider also made me frown.

As did several other Canadian badges that are now found with maker plates, but the plates are certainly unusual variations.

Bill, many many thanks for the heads up on his super rare badge. I know where I will be spending my first paycheque.

Default Airborne Badge
A bidding war between Cliff and Steve is bound to drive the price up on this rarity.
