Description: This vintage military uniform insignia is a hand-made officer's nationality shoulder title flash arc representing Canada. The curved crescent-shaped patch features text reading "CANADA" meticulously stitched in raised, shimmering gold and silver bullion wire threads. The individual metallic purl coils are tightly coiled and anchored onto a thick, dark midnight-blue or black melton wool fabric backing cut to match the textile composition of formal service dress uniforms.
Circa: c. 1940-1950.
