Canadian Militia Medium Size Officers Button Pin Back

This item is a Canadian Militia medium-size officers button with a pin back, representative of military uniforms from Canada. The button features a traditional design typically associated with Canadian militia officers, incorporating national symbols and insignia relevant to its period of use. Made of metal, the button measures approximately 22mm in diameter, which is standard for medium-size uniform buttons.
