WW2 Canadian Royal Rifles of Canada Collars Insignia Pair

This is a matched pair of World War II Canadian Royal Rifles of Canada collar insignia. The insignia were worn as part of the uniform by members of the Royal Rifles of Canada, an infantry regiment of the Canadian Army active during the Second World War. Each collar badge typically features the regimental emblem, which includes a maple leaf and crown, along with the regiment’s title. These insignia were produced in brass and designed to be affixed to the uniform collar, serving as an identification badge for the regiment.
