An original and very rare cap badge of The North West Mounted Police. Die struck white metal, 39.6 x 42 mm.
Bold bison head at center, surrounded by “MAINTIEN LE DROIT” motto
Maple leaf wreath with CANADA scroll and King’s Crown, early 20th century
Reverse marked plaque J.R. Gaunt & Son London — a renowned British military badge manufacturer
Nice patina and slight wear consistent with age. Unfortunately both lug mounts clipped off. However well worthy of replacement given the rarity of the piece.
