WW1 Canadian CEF First Hussars Collar Insignia Single

The WW1 Canadian CEF First Hussars Collar Insignia Single is an original military artifact dating to the First World War period. This metal insignia was worn on the uniform collar by members of the First Hussars, a regiment within the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). The badge features the regimental emblem, typically including crossed sabres beneath a crowned scroll inscribed with the unit name, reflecting the regiment’s cavalry heritage. Measuring approximately 1 inch in width, the insignia is constructed from a brass or bronze alloy consistent with military uniform accoutrements of the era. On the reverse side, original lugs or attachment hardware are present for securing the badge to the uniform. Artifacts such as this collar insignia provide insight into the organizational structure and identity of Canadian military units during the Great War. The piece represents historical interest for collections related to Canadian militaria and the study of the CEF’s involvement in WW1.
