Royal Canadian Engineers Cloth Shoulder Title

Under Review

Material: Embroidered cloth shoulder title.

Size: 56mm w × 20mm h.

Description: The item is an authentic vintage Canadian military uniform identifier badge worn by personnel of the Royal Canadian Engineers (RCE). The rectangular insignia features the initials "RCE" stitched in a bold, sans-serif block format using a pale gold or dark yellow cotton embroidery thread. The letters are machine-embroidered onto a sturdy, diagonally ribbed olive drab green cotton twill canvas background. The entire patch is framed by a thick, protective overlock border sewn in a matching golden thread. This specific compact title strip was manufactured to be sewn directly onto the shoulders of combat shirts, service dress blouses, or field jackets. 

Circa: Mid 20th Century
