Chris Brooker
The vendor of this lot is a long time dealer in Canadian militaria, Chris Brooker. He is out of the Washington State area in the US, formerly from London Ontario. The description is the first time I have heard these reasons for the differences in the two patterns of the cap badge. Personally, I would prefer the pattern with the narrow "0" and proper detail in the grass, etc etc.
One would never be able to determine which "O" badge was wartime versus post war restrike. At $125, for a badge, that many will dispute is original, I would pass.
