WW1 Canadian CEF Officers Guilt Collars Insignia Pair

The WW1 Canadian CEF Officers Gilt Collars Insignia Pair are original collar badges worn by commissioned officers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Manufactured from gilded metal, these matching insignia feature the distinct design elements authorized for officer ranks, typically incorporating the maple leaf motif and the “CANADA” scroll, signifying national identity. The gilt finish was used to distinguish officers from other ranks, who generally wore brass badges. Each insignia is fitted with lugs or attachment hardware for placement on the collar of the service dress tunic. These badges were an integral part of the regulation uniform, serving both as a marker of rank and affiliation within the CEF. The design and construction reflect the standards and materials employed in Canadian military insignia from the 1914–1918 period. This pair represents an authentic example of officer uniform regalia from Canada’s involvement in the First World War.
