A nice Scully made and marked Canadian The Perth Regiment cap badge

This is a good example of a Scully made and marked Canadian The Perth Regiment cap badge. The Perth's tasking since 1936 had been that of a Corps Machine Gun Battalion, The Perth Regiment (MG), and for the first 18 months of the war the unit trained in this capacity. On March 4, 1941 the Perth's were then notified they would become part of the 5th Canadian Armoured Division. This assignment changed the regimental tasking from a Corps Machine Gun Battalion to that of Motorized Infantry, The Perth Regiment (Motor). The Perths would remain in Europe until January 1946. They would return on the Queen Elizabeth and dock in New York on January 14th 1946. This example is in a perfect condition and is coming from a old Belgium collection.
