Item History
- Regiment Origins: The 29th Waterloo Regiment was an infantry unit based in Ontario, Canada, with historical roots tracing back to 1866.
- Service Era: This specific design was worn by Canadian troops during the King Edward VII to early King George V era (1902–1915).
- Manufacturing Context: Top-tier Canadian regiments contracted premium British manufacturers like J.R. Gaunt in London to supply high-quality die-struck insignias for their officers and men.
- Rarity Factor: In 1915, the regiment changed its name to the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, making this short-lived “Waterloo” Maple Leaf pattern quite scarce and highly collectible.
