Treasure detail

Air Cadets Canada Button

Under Review

Material: Gilt brass

Size: 25 mm diameter

Description: Central eagle with spread wings and maple leaf over the chest, with AIR CADETS CANADA in raised border text.

Reverse: Fixed shank reverse with Scully Montreal backmark.

Circa: Mid to Late 20th Century

Notes: Standard larger uniform button for Air Cadets Canada, intended for tunic or greatcoat use rather than cuff placement. Its eagle, wings, and maple leaf composition parallels broader Canadian air-force visual language while keeping the cadet identification explicit in the legend.

Wm. Scully Ltd. of Montreal was a major Canadian supplier of military and cadet insignia, and this larger example complements the smaller cuff-sized cadet buttons in the same group.
