Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineers RCEME Collars Insignia Pair

The Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) Collars Insignia Pair represents the official collar badges worn by members of the RCEME branch of the Canadian Armed Forces. This pair consists of two matching metal insignia, typically featuring the RCEME emblem, which includes a stylized horse’s head and lightning bolt motif symbolizing technical proficiency and mechanized support. Introduced following the formation of the RCEME in 1944, these insignia identified personnel responsible for the maintenance, repair, and technical support of military vehicles and equipment. The collar badges were usually affixed to the lapels of service dress uniforms, signifying unit affiliation and corps specialization. Made primarily from brass or similar metals, the design and finish may reflect the period of issue, with variations existing over time. This set is suitable for collectors, historians, and those studying Canadian military organizational history, particularly with regard to technical corps and their development during and after the Second World War.
