WW1 Canadian Royal Flying Corps RFC Cap Badge Maker Roden

The WW1 Canadian Royal Flying Corps (RFC) Cap Badge by maker Roden is an original insignia issued to members of the Canadian segment of the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War. Constructed in brass, this badge features the classic RFC monogram surrounded by a laurel wreath and surmounted by a King’s Crown, reflecting the insignia style adopted by the unit during its period of operation from 1914 to 1918. The reverse is typically marked with the maker’s name “Roden,” identifying its provenance. These cap badges were worn as part of the uniform by Canadian personnel serving with the RFC, the air arm of the British Army prior to the formation of the Royal Air Force in 1918. The badge is a representative artifact of Canadian military aviation history in the early 20th century and provides insight into the identification and regimental traditions of the era.
