WW1 Canadian CEF 47th Battlaion Collars Insignia Pair

The WW1 Canadian CEF 47th Battalion Collars Insignia Pair consists of two matching collar badges issued to members of the 47th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. Each insignia is typically constructed from brass and bears the battalion’s identifying number “47” prominently, often surmounted by a maple leaf or crown motif, symbolizing its Canadian heritage and allegiance to the Commonwealth. These collar badges were worn on the tunics of Canadian soldiers to denote regimental affiliation and were an important part of military dress and identification. The 47th Battalion was part of the 10th Infantry Brigade, 4th Canadian Division, and served on the Western Front in various key engagements throughout the war. The condition, maker’s marks, and fastening method—such as lugs, split pins, or brooch fittings—can vary depending on the period of manufacture. Original examples are sought by collectors for their historical significance and connection to Canadian military history.
