WW2 Royal Canadian Corps of Signals RCCS Collars Insignia Pair

This item is a pair of World War II-era collar insignia for the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS). These metal insignia were worn by members of the RCCS as part of the standard Canadian military uniform during the Second World War. Each piece typically features the distinctive RCCS emblem, composed of a seated figure of Mercury, the Roman messenger god, encircled or mounted on a scroll with the unit’s name. The finish and attachment design may vary, but most examples from this period are constructed from brass, often with a gilt finish, and are fitted with lugs or pins on the reverse for securing to the collar. Such insignia were used to identify personnel affiliated with the Corps responsible for military communications, including telegraph, telephone, and signal operations. These pieces represent standard-issue Canadian Army insignia and offer a concrete example of wartime uniform accoutrements.
