Calgary Highlanders WW2 cap badges

[Avitas]

Hello gents,

I just picked up these beauty WW2 Calgary Highlanders cap badges at a local antiques shoe yesterday (I'm sure Darrell and Laurence will be fans), and I was wondering why they have two different finishes. The one is the standard copper colour, while the other has a brown paint-like coating on it. I haven't seen a Canadian Cap badge with this colour finish before. Any other examples out there? My two guesses on the differences would be A: the brown finish was rubbed off of the one, or B: they were from a different time period. Any ideas on this question is appreciated.

Thanks again,

Pat

and the reverses, anyone else have a badge in the brown colour?

I'm on a roll, here is another Canadian topic to transfer to the the Canadian section. Sorry for asking for you to do all this work!! For the best I'd say,

The Brown or "Chocolate" coloured badge is usually associated with Service Dress.
