WW2 Royal Canadian Army Service Corps RCASC Bullion Wire Blazer Crest (1)

The WW2 Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC) Bullion Wire Blazer Crest is an embroidered insignia designed for wear on a civilian blazer. It features the RCASC emblem, which incorporates a wheel with royal and service-related symbols, executed in fine bullion wire thread on a dark cloth backing. The use of metallic bullion thread was typical for higher-quality, post-service blazer badges, offering a distinctive and formal appearance compared to standard cloth insignia. Members of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, responsible for transport and supply duties, commonly wore such crests after their service, particularly in veterans’ associations or regimental gatherings. This piece exemplifies the craftsmanship of mid-twentieth-century military accoutrements and reflects the tradition of Canadian veterans displaying regimental affiliation. The dimensions, construction, and detailing are consistent with wartime and immediate postwar production standards for Canadian military blazer badges. This crest provides historical context for Canadian Army regalia from the Second World War period.
