TITLE: STRATHCONA'S HORSE

TYPE: HAT BADGE

Hello Mike,
Tell me please, how were these little badges, (and they are very small), worn, I'm thinking a stetson type hat, like the RCMP, with a leather band, so were they actually attached to the leather band?
Frank.

Really lovely badge, fantastic detail!

Mike,
Superb display, you are very lucky indeed to have such a superb group!
Shocked by the links $700-$1000!!!!!!!!!
But, what price for an important little piece of history, is it to much?
I don't know, but if I did not have one, then I'd be very tempted!
Thanks again Mike, very best regards
Frank.

Mike,
Here is mine, I'm very fond of Strathcona's Horse by the way! I payed a lot of money for this back in the early 1990's, £100 at a time when I did not have much money!

Good Morning Again Frank.....

As far as the Strathcona badges are concerned that is not a bad price.....

I have been collecting Boer War for nearly 40 years now..... I like to put the badges with the medals when I mount them.....

Here is one that I had been searching for, searching for about 30 years and is one of the rarest Canadian BW badges.....

I had only seen 2 others come up for sale in 30 years and they always went for a lot lot more than I could afford......

Then a short while ago 2 came up for sale at the same time, One Officers and One Enlisted both in different locations and both on auction...... I was able to get the Officers cheaper and in better condition than the Enlisted..... I understand that there are only 3 or 4 Enlisted in museums and one other Officers.......

Canadian Garrison Artillery.....

P.S. It was more that the Strathcona's.....
