PPCLI Badge?

Hi Folks,

I spotted a badge of some sort in the local pawn shop today (don't know the price on it or anything about it but the woman is going to ask)

It's PPCLI, has a rounded crown on top, brass (looks like) badge, and a silver (sterling or pewter?) center/middle part with symbols that look like a combination of swords, wings and an anchor.
It's Princess Patricias Canadian Light Infantry written on it ... I couldn't see well enough to read without my glasses, and on the "clip" part on the back it has PM984. It clips onto something (like a money clip/belt clip idea)

Can anyone tell me anything about this badge?

Thanks,

Karmen

Hi Karmen
Itsa cap badge, post 1952 ones have the slider instead of lugs. Value around $10- $15. Brian

Hey Brian, thank you for the bit of background on the badge ... and now I know it's post WW2 wear

I don't understand the symbols on it though ... like Army, Navy, Airforce BUT PPCLI? Whats the connection regards combining the symbols? It confused me (be quiet Marko )

There was also a belt buckle there, from the same guy apparently, but I didn't look closely at it so don't know whats on it. Really sad to think of guys or gals pawning their military things though I'd almost like to buy them and give them back to the guy ... but can't afford to anyways .. oh well. Such is life and if the guy is so needy he has to sell that stuff then he'd likely sell them again anyways.
