This is one of 200 unique badges from a private hoard. Estate sale.
The Canadian soldier, born in 1897, was part of the 52nd New Ontario Regiment. He was 18 years old when he suffered from a gun shot wound in 1916. He was sent to Britain for medical treatment. It was at the hospital that he accumulated the badges in this collection by trading and playing cards. The badges becam...e a source of currency.
They appear to have 100 year old patina and are in overall excellent shape.
I am not primarily a dealer of Canadian militaria, but will try and answer any questions you may have.
These are used, highly collectible.
