WW2 Canadian RCN Signalman Ratings Trade Patch

The WW2 Canadian RCN Signalman Ratings Trade Patch is a military insignia from World War II. This patch was used in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) to denote the rank and specialization of signalmen, who were responsible for visual, electronic, and audio communication on naval vessels. The patch features unique design elements consistent with the period and the RCN’s visual language, making it easily recognizable to military insignia collectors and historians. As a genuine historical item, it provides a tangible link to Canada’s naval past and the broader context of World War II. Its condition, design quality, and authenticity are critical factors in its value. Authentic patches from this era can sometimes be mistaken for reproductions due to their well-preserved condition, but this is not an indication of lesser value. Please note this item is intended for collection, display, or historical research purposes and does not represent current military ranks or designations.
