Canadian Army Majors Rank Infantry Red Insignia Pair

This item consists of a matched pair of Canadian Army Majors Rank Infantry Insignia, featuring the distinctive red felt backing. Each insignia displays the gold-colored embroidered crown and pip (star), denoting the rank of Major in the Canadian Army’s infantry branch. The red background is typical for infantry units and assists in quick identification of branch and rank. These insignia would have been worn on the epaulets or shoulders of dress or service uniforms during the mid-20th century, following British Commonwealth patterns of military rank identification. The construction combines metal-thread embroidery and colored textile, reflecting period military manufacturing methods. Such insignia are of interest to collectors of Canadian militaria, those studying military rank structures, and individuals seeking accurate components for uniform restoration. Condition may vary with age and use, including common effects such as slight wear or minor fading typical for authentic service-worn items.
