Royal Canadian Corps of Signals RCCS Officer’s Collars Insignia Pair

The Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS) Officer’s Collars Insignia Pair is an original set of metal collar badges worn by commissioned officers of the RCCS. Established in 1903, the Corps served as the communications branch of the Canadian Army, responsible for military signaling and telecommunications. Each insignia in this pair typically features design elements associated with the RCCS, such as the Mercury figure, representing swift communication, surmounted by a scroll inscribed with the Corps’ motto. The badges are intended for placement on the collar of the service dress jacket and are usually constructed from gilt or brass metal, reflecting officer rank distinction. These insignia were in use during various periods of the 20th century and adhere to standardized patterns issued by the Canadian military. This pair provides a representative example of Canadian Army officer accoutrements, illustrating the traditions and organizational structure of military communication units.
