WW1 Canadian CEF 129th Battalion Collar Insignia Single

The WW1 Canadian CEF 129th Battalion Collar Insignia (Single) is an original military badge issued to members of the 129th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. Struck in brass, the insignia features the battalion’s numeric designation, “129,” along with emblematic Canadian symbols such as the maple leaf. The collar insignia was worn on the uniform collar to identify unit affiliation and differentiate battalions within the larger CEF structure. The 129th Battalion was raised in Dundas, Ontario, in late 1915 and primarily composed of recruits from Hamilton and surrounding areas. The unit’s insignia is part of the broader system of Canadian military badges that served both practical and ceremonial purposes during the conflict. This single collar device is suitable for collectors specializing in Canadian militaria or for historical reference regarding the organization of Canadian forces in the Great War. The piece exhibits period design and manufacturing typical of CEF insignia.
