WW1 Canadian CEF Royal North West Mounted Police RNWMP Collar Insignia Single

This listing is for a single collar insignia issued to the Royal North West Mounted Police (RNWMP) serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) during the First World War. The RNWMP contributed a detachment to the CEF, with members serving both at home and overseas. The insignia is typically manufactured from brass, featuring the regiment’s initials “RNWMP” in raised letters, often accompanied by a crown motif, reflecting Canadian military design standards of the era. Collar badges like this were worn on the service dress uniform, denoting the wearer’s unit affiliation. This piece represents the unique role of the RNWMP within the context of the Canadian military effort in WW1, prior to the force’s name change to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in 1920. The badge provides an example of First World War Canadian military insignia and is of interest to collectors specializing in Commonwealth or police-related militaria.
