That is an excellent souvenir belt!
I like a Canadian tank corp emblem . I would imagine having a WW1 tank connection, that must give that one an edge up on the collectability side!!!

Very nice, Are they the names of the original badge owners on the reverse ? Regards, Paul

I've always wanted a Canadian Tank Corps so it was a bonus , the Prince Edward Island Light Horse is a rare one too. I've been told the Fort Gary Horse might be a WWI example. But the 94th badge is worth the most, due to it's early date and rarity.
The writing on the reverse are dates and places, Sydney NS, Sussex NB, Ottawa, etc, possibly where the badge was obtained.
Of note is Left Sept. 29 1941, probably left for overseas . There is still some masking tape on the back, used to cover the hardware, which i'll have to carefully remove.
Thanks for the replies.
