Brassards

Hi,
do you have any information, photos brassards used in Italy?
I'm interested in this topic
Thanks

Hello Thomas, Could you clarify? Do you mean the armlets with regimental and formation patches? Or, brassards, like the RCMP one?

Hi Bill,i mean the armlets with regimental and formation patches.
Do you have any in the collection?

Hello Thomas, I have a couple, but not many. They are not easy to find and are getting very expensive. One to the 5 LAA Regt was sold on ebay for about $190.

Surely you mean this brassard http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=330544844051&si=WjmpRoYk9MZeqyjkn9jg5rXfT%252F8%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT
.
Can I ask for your photos Brassard?
Thanks

Yes that was the one. When I have a chance to look through things, I'll see what there is.

A RCE 5 CAD armlet sold for $200 yesterday. Whew. Skyrocketing prices. There was a time when corps stuff didn't even sell.

You're right Bill, the price is really high.

The PPCLI and Saskatoon Light Infantry are examples from my collection. The 2 LAA recently sold on eBay but unfortunately not to me!

I can add in these RCR ones from my collection:

Brassards from my collection

Hmmm. That 2 LAA looks familiar....?

Yes, I was luckier than GCR817.

Hi Thomas, Have a look at the 2 LAA titles. One LAA slopes up from the "2" and the other slopes down from the "2". The authorized pattern is the one that is on the armlet. The tunic is a coming home one, and the 2 LAA RCA are likely private purchase, as printed titles were the only government issued pattern.

This 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards brassard just sold for $272:

It will be interesting to see what these 5th Canadian Armoured Division Corporal brassards sell for. There's definitely a strong market for these brassards.

Oh wow! They have jumped in price since I last checked the listing.

Hi, I do not believe

Interesting armlets. Now, if one was to restore these, with 5 CAD patches, are they good examples or repros?

Here's another nice 4 P.L.D.G. brassard:

any explanation?

Odd armlet. How the Calgary Highlanders ended up in 1 Cdn Corps is a mystery.

Victor Taboika has several brassards currently listed on ebay:

***Note: This auction is already up to $177.50.

Something odd about that Elgin brassard. It looks like a 1 Corps fm patch that has had the bar coloured in to make it a 1 CAB or 1 Cdn Army patch.
