Hello Bermuda, That's indeed a very rare item. As to retired member can retain their badge in lucite, I 've heard that depends on division. And I am not sure if they've stopped that too. As far as I know the PWGSC contract regarding the lucite didn't get renewed for unknown reason. How long was this badge in lucite program last?

That's correct Johnny R, color is clearly stated in the original design document.

Hi Paul, What a nice collection you got Just want to share the baseball cap issed to marine, K9 members in addition to your headress collection.......

Which retired wallet badge are you trying to get?

Hi All, Am new to this forum and new to collecting as well. Johnnyrocket, as far as I know, the retired badges you've posted are made by the vet association. However, as requested by RCMP, they stopped the production. As a result, they are very rare. Why some have the veteran wording and the other has retired ? Prior to 1 Jan 2005, the retired wording is used. After that, the veteran wording is used.(see attached) As to generations and sizes, the RCMP GRC is the latest design,while the VETERAN wording being the latest variation of retired badges. The other retired badge with full royal canadian mounted police wording is modeled after the previous design used until Mid June 1967. The original design document states different variations. I will post the document once I have it. As far as I know, the photo posted by Bermuda is the currect design and appears to be identical to the original design document. Note in the attached photos, the retired badge has exact same size as the official badge since it fits perfectly in a wallet designed for the official one. The imprint on the left is forced out of the daily used of an offcial badge as posted by Bermuda.
