Canada - Perth Regiment Other Ranks Bronzed Cap Badge - 1st Pattern

Bronzed King's Crown other ranks die struck badge, authorised in 1923 but worn from as early as 1920. This is the pattern from the first pattern die used in the early 1920s. The lettering is larger in the scroll than in later issues. Not as much detail in the veins of the maple leaf. No periods or dots prior to the “T” in The or after the “T” in regiment. No maker marks.


The post WW1 period saw another reorganization of the Canadian military. The practice of generically numbered battalions reverted back to the prewar unit names. On April 1, 1920 the regiment was redesginated “The Perth Regiment” (perpetuating the 110th battalion C.E.F). This change also led to the creation of a whole new design of insignia. It was decided that the Perth County coat of arms should play in integral part of that new insignia.
