WW1 Canadian CEF CANADA Curved Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair 2

The WW1 Canadian CEF CANADA Curved Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two matching metal insignia worn by members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Each insignia is curved to fit the contour of the uniform’s upper sleeve and features the word “CANADA” in raised letters. The shoulder titles were a standard part of the Canadian military uniform, used to identify Canadian service personnel within the larger British and Commonwealth forces. Typically constructed of brass, these insignia were attached to the uniform with lugs and split pins or with slider fittings, depending on the variation. The use of shoulder titles became common practice as a form of identification and unit pride during WW1. Original pieces show period manufacturing techniques and often display patina from age and use. These items hold historical significance for military collectors and researchers studying Canadian participation in WW1.
