We start with a Calgary Garrison Sergeant’s Mess patch, discussing the absence of the Crestcraft maker mark, and why Crestcraft remains one of the most sought-after patch makers for Canadian military uniforms during and after WWII. Next is the RCF Camp Warden Sergeant’s Mess patch, a standout Canadian Army cloth badge with great history. Then Dave examines Canadian Field Artillery WWI red shoulder boards – rare slip-on boards with beautiful design despite condition issues – followed by an RCAF officer’s cap badge from the interwar years, identified by its elongated shape and distinct crown style.

The Korean War section features jump wings, Japanese-made patches including a Presidential Unit Citation, and early overseas stripes from 1939. Dave explains how to spot the differences between Japanese bullion thread and modern reproductions, offering vital tips for identifying authentic military insignia. We then compare Toronto Scottish and Carleton & York starchback shoulder titles, revealing how British 45-degree stitching differs from Canadian straight stitching, an essential detail for patch collectors.

A highlight is the 12th Manitoba Dragoons patch paired with Second Corps insignia, alongside Canadian Grenadier Guards and Calgary Regiment (Calgary Tank) badges. The Pathfinder badge maker-marked Firmin London showcases intricate craftsmanship, while the Victorian bullion wire drummer’s badge impresses with its patina. A Dispatch Rider trade badge demonstrates the “non-spaghetti” back that signals authenticity over reproduction.

More treasures include the Fusiliers Mont Royal patch, Regiment de Maisonneuve British-made shoulder title, and a King’s Crown Horse Guards badge from the 1970s–80s made for a baseball cap but designed in a wartime style. The RCAF Air Gunner and Pilot Wings, Eighth Army formation sign, and British War Officer’s Crowns pair bring in more WWII-era variety. German Mountain Troops Jaeger insignia, a musician trade badge, and a Canadian-made driver mechanic patch add depth to the mix.

Dave also presents First Armoured Corps canvas shoulder titles, winged wheel WWII trade badges, and a pair of 21st Army Group lines of communication patches with swords, one retaining its original paper backing. The WWII radio operator patch in early pattern and a tropical quality gunner’s badge from between the wars round out the lineup.
