Maker:
Dominion Regalia Company was founded in 1881 at 175 King Street West Toronto Ontario. They operated at this location until 1917. The company is still operating today.
Condition:
Both ribbons are... in good to very good condition. Pinback celluloids are in excellent condition with no rot, discoloration, cracking, or flaking The silk and lettering are clear front and back - with the first ribbon (on left in first pic) has slightly faded silk on front and back and the gold beaver under center celluloid is faded. The second ribbon (on right in first pic) shows the bottom tassel has lost it's stitching - can be repaired but I left as is. And the original owner added black thread on front of first ribbon so it can't be reversed - probably did this to reinforce. This can be removed.
Will ship in padded envelope with cardboard bracing front and back to protect badge in transit.
