The Royal Canadian Regiment Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The Royal Canadian Regiment Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two matching badges historically worn by members of The Royal Canadian Regiment, one of Canada’s oldest regular infantry regiments. These shoulder titles are typically constructed from brass or other metal alloys, shaped in a curved rectangular form, and display the regiment’s abbreviated name, “RCR,” or, in some variations, the full title in embossed or raised letters. Designed for attachment to the upper uniform sleeve, these insignia identified regimental affiliation and formed part of standard Canadian Army dress regulations throughout the 20th century. The dimensions, fastening methods, and specific design elements may vary depending on the period of issue, with subtle differences distinguishing World War I, World War II, and postwar variants. Collecting such regimental insignia offers insight into the evolution of Canadian military uniforms and organizational identity, as well as changes in production methods across different eras. This pair represents a piece of Canadian military tradition.
