Nice items indeed

Tis a pity about the Airborne Regiment. I have fond memories of training with the CAR at Petawawa, a great group of lads.

Laurence,
Very nice Canadian collection. I love this stuff too & have been chasing it for years. I like all the Brit, Canadian, Aussie & NZ insignia. Very distinctive & it all makes for really nice displays. Thanks for sharing this with us. Too bad tho, that most identification reference is either WWII or before and whats being used today. Not much in the way of reference on many obsolete pieces used in the Cold War Era, especially trade badges.

Thank you for looking. Are there any you are looking for help on?
