soft. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Canadian Army Cap Badges 1953â"1973 (Vol. 3), Major Roy J. C. Thompson â" First Edition Publication: Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Published by the Author, 1973 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 215, in original wrappers. Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains remarkably tight and square, preserving the structural integrity of this relatively fragile softcover. The original green card wrappers retain their vibrant colour and distinctive graphic layout, exhibiting only minor shelf-wear to the extremities, including light rubbing along the spine joints and corner tips. The rear wrapper displays some mild, faint localised spotting, typical for the paper stock of this era. Internally, the pages are crisp, clean, and free from foxing or tears, with the sole exception of a neat, contemporary previous ownership signature ('Russell Arthur Hamill, 1977') to the upper right corner of the title page. A well-preserved, highly presentable copy of an often heavily handled reference work. Catalogue Note: First Edition, softcover issue. Extensively illustrated throughout with detailed black-and-white line drawings and photographs of cap badges, shoulder insignias, and buttons, this volume is an essential reference for the identification and dating of Canadian Army militaria. The book bears the 1977 ownership signature of one Russell Arthur Hamill, grounding it in the era shortly following the book's publication. As a privately published, highly specialised military reference work produced with the assistance of the Dartmouth Heritage Museum and the Department of National Defence, it was printed in a limited run primarily for collectors, curators, and historians. Consequently, intact first editions are scarce on the open market, particularly in such well-preserved condition without the usual heavy thumbing or workshop wear. An indispensable resource for military historians and collectors, Canadian Army Cap Badges 1953â"1973 (Vol. 3) offers a comprehensive visual and historical catalogue of the insignias worn by the Canadian armed forces during a pivotal post-war era. Authored by Major Roy J. C. Thompson, and drawing deeply from both his personal collection and the archives of the Department of National Defence, this detailed guide systematically documents the cap badges, shoulder titles, and buttons of various regiments and corps. With precise illustrations and authoritative historical context, it serves as a definitive reference for authenticating and understanding Canadian military dress up to the early 1970s.
