WW2 Canadian Intelligence Corps Cap Badge (1)

The WW2 Canadian Intelligence Corps Cap Badge is an original insignia worn by members of the Canadian Intelligence Corps during the Second World War. Established in 1942, the Canadian Intelligence Corps provided vital intelligence and counterintelligence services to the Canadian armed forces. The cap badge features the Corps’ emblem: a Tudor crown above a scroll inscribed “Intelligence,” surmounting a laurel wreath with a central maple leaf, symbolizing Canada. Manufactured in brass or white metal, the badge was typically affixed to service dress caps. The design reflects both the British military heritage and distinct Canadian identity of the Corps. Original WW2 examples often exhibit period production marks on the reverse, such as maker stamps or lugs for secure attachment. This badge represents an important aspect of Canadian military history and the specialized roles within the armed forces during the war. It is sought after by collectors of Commonwealth military insignia and WW2 memorabilia.
