WW2 Canadian PT Instructor Trade Badges Tailor Stock Pair

This is a pair of original World War II-era Canadian Physical Training (PT) Instructor trade badges, produced as tailor stock and intended for issue to qualifying personnel. Each badge is constructed from dark blue wool fabric and is embroidered with crossed Indian clubs in white thread, a recognized symbol for physical training instructors within the Canadian military during the Second World War. The badges are unissued and retain their original unsewn backing, making them suitable for collectors seeking authentic period examples or for historical uniform restoration. These badges would have been worn on the lower sleeve of the service dress jacket to denote a servicemember’s qualification as a Physical Training Instructor. The condition of this pair is consistent with long-term storage, displaying minor age-related toning to the embroidery but no significant damage. Together, these items represent a specific aspect of military training and personnel specialization in the Canadian forces during WWII.
