WW2 Canadian RCCS Officer’s Guilt and Enameled Collars Insignia Pair

This is a matched pair of World War II-era Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS) officer’s collar insignia. Constructed with a gilt finish and detailed with colorful enameling, these collar badges display the RCCS insignia featuring the figure of Mercury, the Roman messenger god, set within a laurel wreath and surmounted by the king’s crown, signifying Canadian military service under the monarchy of the period. The design corresponds to the standard pattern issued to commissioned officers serving in the Signals Corps during the Second World War. Each badge is equipped with its original fastening devices to the reverse, typically consisting of lugs for attachment to uniform collars. These insignia served as branch identifiers and denoted officer ranks within the Canadian Army’s communications units. Items such as these were integral components of regulation dress and reflect the symbolic traditions of the Canadian military during the 1939–1945 conflict.
