WW1 Canadian CEF 76th Battalion Collar Insignia Single

This item is a single collar insignia from the 76th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), used during the First World War. Formed in 1915, the 76th Battalion was part of Canada’s contributions to the Allied war effort, primarily serving as a reinforcement unit in Europe. The collar badge features the battalion’s distinctive design, typically struck in brass, displaying the battalion number “76” and incorporating elements such as maple leaves and scrollwork, which were common motifs in Canadian military insignia of the era. Collar badges like this example were worn on the uniform’s collar points and served to identify the wearer’s unit. Such insignia are of interest to collectors and historians as tangible artifacts representing the Canadian military’s organization during World War I. The badge’s construction, design, and maker’s mark (if present) can provide further information about its origin and period of issue.
