I'm looking for info on the 91st Infantry Battalion from Elgin County, Ontario. Please message me.

Tlutz Valued Member Canada 56 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 12:42 pm I don't have the book, would be helpful in the field of collecting cap badges. What I usually do when researching badges I will search the battalion (most of the time Wikipedia will give some info) then look on a site called emedals for the pricing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/91s...(Elgin),_CEF Not sure if this helps but it's nice to see a fellow collector Report this Post to the Staff
1960NYGiants Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 11:48 pm Thanks for the assist @Tlutz. Wikipedia was the only help I've been able to locate so far. There are several photos of the badge on Google but no other references. Also mine has the numbers silvered, not sure if added afterwards or if it signifies special rank (officer vs. enlisted). Not really a collector (yet?). This item was in a small collection I picked up, paid US $5 for it. Here are photos. LM of RCNA Member of CATC Report this Post to the Staff
billfrak Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 03/02/2019 4:45 pm Nice find , I have been casually looking for 1 for a while. Last one I seen sold for way more than $5. Report this Post to the Staff
Tlutz Valued Member Canada 56 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 09:49 am That's a nice badge, the back lugs have been removed and a pin has been soldered in its place. I would say since you can't find another one with the silver numbers and with the modifications on the back that someone "customized" there badge, perhaps put solder on the numbers? Definitely a great buy for $5 WW1 battalion badges are hard to find. Report this Post to the Staff
