Description
?This is an ORIGINAL pair of the Canadian "Canada" collar insignia worn by Canadian officers of the First Special Service Force, the elite Canadian/American unit of WWII, commonly called the "Forcemen" or the "Devil's Brigade". I acquired these at the Show of Shows back on February 21, 2003.  Because the Canadians wore US Army uniforms in the Force, they would wear the "Canada" insignia on the upper lapel of the officer blouse to indicate their nationality, rather than the usual "US" collar brass worn by the American contingent.
The insignia are the unique type used by the British and Commonwealth nations during WWII, consisting of metal loops and a cotter pin-like clasp which passes through the loops.  This would necessary entail making small incisions in the wool fabric of the blouse or having professionally-sewn small "button holes" or grommets made in the lapels of the "walking out" uniform of the Forceman.  The insignia is in VERY GOOD condition, but is mis-matched in the loops on the back. The brass has tarnished, but could be polished to a bright finish.  Here's an opportunity for the FSSF collector or re-enactor to obtain a pair of very rare insignia for the collection or impression. The buyer will have my usual unconditional guarantee of authenticity and a five-day (
not the 14-days that they insert into my listings
) right of inspection and return/refund privilege, excluding postage.
