and Collar set World War One Era. Up for auction is an Obsolete, scarce WW1 era R.N.W.M.P. (Royal North West Mounted Police) cap badge group including collar badges and shoulder badges in good condition. The badge design is near identical to that of the N.W.M.P. (North West Mounted Police) with the addition of the word "Royal" on lower scroll. The badge has a wonderful aged light brown patina, with sharp detailing on voided design. The badge depicts a large buffalo in center, with "MAINTIEN LE DROIT" (Maintain the Right) scroll above lower "Royal North West Mounted Police" scroll, and upper "CANADA" scroll. The badge has a detailed Canadian maple leaf wreath design, with a Kings Crown on top. The reverse has a pin fastener and latch in working condition. This version of the RNWMP cap badge does not have the Gaunt makers mark disk.

The cap badge set includes its original collar badge pair. Both collars retain sharp detailing on voided front. A large Kings Crown stands on top of the badge, with center detailed Bison and surrounding original motto "Maintien Le Droit" and lower scroll "Royal North West Mounted Police"(the badges are similar in design to the larger cap badge.) Both collars have a matching light brown metal patina. Both badges are complete with original lugs, and have the famous Gaunt disk present. The disks read "J.R. GAUNT & SON Montreal", with disk being in the center of both badge.

The group includes a RNWMP shoulder title pair. The shoulder titles are similar in design to the North West Mounted Police shoulder title, with the addition of "R" for "Royal". The design is simple, with five large letters "R.N.W.M.P." on voided design. Both are complete on reverse with both original lugs, and are nicely marked on upper section "J.R. GAUNT. LONDON."

The cap badge is pictured on page 131 of the recommended reference "Insignia of the Canadian Mounted Police 1873-1998" by Donald J. Klancher. The collar badges are pictured on pages 203-206, and the shoulder titles are pictured on page 156.
