WW2 Canadian RCAF Sweetheart Badge Sterling Silver

The WW2 Canadian RCAF Sweetheart Badge Sterling Silver is an original period item produced during the Second World War. Intended as a token of affection, these badges were typically given by members of the Royal Canadian Air Force to family members or loved ones as a symbol of connection and service. The badge is crafted from sterling silver and usually features the official RCAF insignia, which may include details such as the eagle, crown, or “RCAF” lettering. Measuring approximately 25–30mm, it was designed to be worn on civilian clothing, often as a brooch or pin. Sweetheart badges were popular across various Allied forces, serving as mementos during wartime separation. This example reflects both the craftsmanship and sentiments of its era and offers insight into personal and home front wartime experiences. The sterling silver composition ensures durability and often features hallmarks or maker’s marks on the reverse.
