WW1 Canadian CEF 63rd Battalion Collar Insignia Single

The WW1 Canadian CEF 63rd Battalion Collar Insignia Single is an original military badge issued for wear by members of the 63rd Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. This collar device is constructed from brass and features the distinct battalion number “63” at its center, often surrounded by maple leaf and scroll motifs representing Canadian service. The unit, raised in Edmonton, Alberta, was part of Canada’s significant mobilization for overseas service between 1914 and 1918. Collar insignia were commonly worn on the tunic collars to denote regimental affiliation and served as an identifying feature for personnel within the battalion. The reverse typically displays lugs or pins for attachment, consistent with period manufacturing techniques. These collars are collectible due to their historical association with Canada’s military contributions in the First World War and are of interest for reference, research, and collection of original CEF insignia.
