🪖 Historical Background:

Original WW2 production (not reproductions)
Matched pair – same size, fabric, and thread tone

🎖️ Collector’s Note:
This is an increasingly hard-to-find matched pair, ideal for a uniform restoration, shadow box display, or to complete a serious WWII Canadian militaria collection. Le Régiment de la Chaudière items are particularly sought after due to their strong historical significance and regional identity.
