Wife bought me this in a local store - got curious as to who/what/when, but can't find any information on it.

Wow that is one of the older sailor's brackets invented for little known Upper Peninsula War highly rare and collectible.  You could easily get a few thousand for that.

Yeah, but seriously no idea what that is.

rifles, wings and anchor suggests combined arms. didnt the canadian forces combine into one arm fairly recently? :headscratch:


edit: theres a crown too so I'm going to guess Royal Canadian Armed Forces insignia :)
