Our adventure begins with the discovery of a Canadian officer’s four pocket service dress uniform, an authentic piece dated 1929 with the original owner’s name on the label from Victoria Street, Montreal. Although missing the belt, pips, and Canada titles, this uniform’s nearly century-old provenance makes it a must-see for collectors of Canadian Army memorabilia. Dave explains why acquiring named military uniforms adds research value, historical context, and unique stories to any collection.

Next, Dave explores a group of medals and decorations belonging to a soldier who served in both World War I and World War II. The story deepens as we uncover medals that have been erased, prompting research into the soldier’s entitlement to World War I decorations. The collection features the Efficiency Decoration with Canada bar and bar, named to Sergeant Bunford RHLI, as well as the long service efficiency medal, both representing commitment and bravery within the Canadian military.

We take a closer look at the Memorial Cross and Burke’s bar, both inscribed with Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps. Dave pieces together the history of a medic attached to the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry (RHLI) who died in service in 1944, revealing a poignant story of sacrifice and duty. The Memorial Cross, complete with added pin and service number, becomes a centerpiece for those passionate about military service recognition and commemoration.

Diving deeper, the episode showcases a variety of unique military collectibles: an RHLI cap badge, a discharge pin for services rendered, a personalized sweetheart bracelet with the soldier’s name, RHLI lapel pins, a sweetheart pin celebrating 40 years of service, a medical corps sweetheart pin, and a general service pin. Each item tells a story, connecting personal sacrifice, regimental pride, and the legacy of Canadian armed forces.

The adventure continues with the arrival of several rare bayonets. Dave identifies a Mauser VZ-24 bayonet with scabbard, prized for its good condition and clear markings—a sought-after piece among bayonet collectors and military history researchers. He examines a French cruciform bayonet, noting its original bluing and the challenge of finding matching scabbard numbers. The third bayonet remains a mystery, lacking clear country markings and missing a screw, providing the perfect open loop for viewers to join the research and share their expertise.

As the story unfolds, we meet the swords of a veteran from the 7th Canadian Mounted Rifles, connecting the pieces to authentic Canadian cavalry history. Dave inspects an Imperial German officer’s sword, highlighting its folding guard, wire wrap, and maker’s mark. Despite minor condition issues like a broken leather finger loop, these original swords stand as tangible reminders of battles fought and history preserved.

Another sword features a slightly loose wire wrap and a distinctive guard star, showing the wear and character expected from antiques over 100 years old. Dave emphasizes his commitment to selling these historic pieces as-is, preserving their originality for discerning collectors.

In the final moments, Dave shares valuable insights on the impact of new US shipping duties and how it affects both buyers and sellers of military antiques. He encourages viewers to visit the Military Antiques Toronto website for the latest listings, as new discoveries are processed and added regularly.
