WW1 Canadian CEF CFA Artillery Sweetheart Badge Sterling Silver

The WW1 Canadian CEF CFA Artillery Sweetheart Badge in Sterling Silver is a commemorative piece produced during the First World War. These badges were typically given to family members or sweethearts of Canadian soldiers as symbols of connection and pride. This example represents the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), specifically the Canadian Field Artillery (CFA), which played a significant role in artillery operations during the conflict. The badge is crafted in sterling silver and features the emblematic motifs associated with the CFA, such as the artillery gun and regimental insignia. Markings on the reverse may include details of composition and, occasionally, the maker’s hallmark. Sweetheart badges were unofficial, privately purchased items and varied in design and quality. They serve as historical artifacts reflecting the personal aspect of military service during the Great War and are of interest to collectors of Canadian military memorabilia.
