WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Cap Badge is an original insignia issued to members of the Canadian Armoured Corps during the Second World War. This brass badge features a distinct tank design set upon a scroll inscribed with “Canadian Armoured Corps.” Above the tank, a King’s Crown is present, reflecting the period of issue under King George VI. The reverse typically includes lug fasteners for attachment to a service cap. Authorized in 1940, the badge signified service in Canada’s recently formed armoured units, which played a significant role in campaigns such as Normandy and Northwest Europe. Measuring approximately 48mm by 32mm, its precise construction and symbolic imagery highlight the military identity and technological advances of the era. This piece is of interest to collectors and historians for its connection to Canadian military history and the development of armoured warfare in the mid-20th century.
