Canadian Calgary Highlanders Canada Armband Brassard Dated 1965

The Canadian Calgary Highlanders Canada Armband Brassard dated 1965 is an original military insignia associated with the Calgary Highlanders, a primary reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army. This armband, also known as a brassard, was worn as part of the uniform to indicate national affiliation and unit identity. The item is constructed from cloth material, typically featuring the red, white, and blue colors of the Canadian flag, with “Canada” embroidered or printed prominently. The brassard is dated 1965, situating it during a period of Cold War-era military organization and training within the Canadian Army. Items such as this were commonly worn on the upper arm, secured with sewing, buttons, or hook-and-loop fasteners, and served both practical and identification purposes. Such artifacts reflect the uniform standards and regimental distinctions of Canadian military units in the mid-20th century. The item holds historical value for collectors of Canadian and Commonwealth military memorabilia.
