Original Second World War cap badge for the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps (RCOC), the service branch responsible for supply, logistics, and materiel support within the Canadian Army.
The badge features:
The classic Garter Belt insignia with the Latin motto “Honi soit qui mal y pense” surmounted by the King’s Crown
A central shield with three cannonballs and three cannons, symbolic of the Corps’ roots in ordnance supply
Banner scrolls reading “Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps” at the base
Constructed in gilt brass with original slider attachment intact on the reverse — a typical WWII production feature
This is the wartime pattern, worn on the service dress forage caps and distinguishing RCOC personnel in Canada and overseas. Reverse shows aging and patina consistent with authentic WWII usage.
Condition: Very good; original finish well preserved with light wear; no repairs; slider straight and solid
