Canadian 19th Lincoln and Welland Regiment Officer’s Collars Insignia Pair

The Canadian 19th Lincoln and Welland Regiment Officer’s Collars Insignia Pair is a set of military collar badges dating from the late nineteenth century. Each insignia is composed of a metal device, typically made from brass, featuring the regimental emblem: a maple leaf surmounted by a crown, with additional identifying elements unique to the 19th Regiment. Officer collar badges like these were worn on the uniform collar to indicate rank and regimental affiliation. The 19th Lincoln and Welland Regiment traces its origins to units raised in Ontario and was officially established in the late 1800s. The insignia reflects the design standards and materials commonly used in Canadian militia uniforms of the period. Such pairs were issued to officers and formed part of the full dress, mess dress, or undress uniforms. The badges provide a tangible connection to the history of Canadian military regiments and the evolution of their insignia.
