WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Collars Insignia Pair

This pair of WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps collar insignia represents the standard issue used by members of the Canadian Armoured Corps during the Second World War. Each insignia is crafted in a bi-metal construction, typically featuring brass and white metal elements. The design displays the traditional 3D tank motif, a prominent symbol associated with armoured units. Measuring approximately 2.5 cm in width, these collars were worn on the lower lapels of service dress uniforms to identify the wearer’s branch within the Canadian Army. The reverse side generally includes lug fasteners for attachment. The Canadian Armoured Corps was officially formed in 1940, supporting the mechanization of the army and playing a significant role in major campaigns throughout the war. Original collar badges such as this pair are of interest to collectors and historians for their association with a key period in Canadian military history and their distinctive regimental design.
