A gilt metal and resin lapel badge to the Canadian RCAF Ground Observer Corps.
Formed in 1950 from Canadian Civilians, its purpose was to form a early warning system against attack from Soviet Aircraft, by watching the sky's for 4 engined aircraft and report them via radio to the Royal Canadian Air Force. This was prior to a system of radar being established.
The corps was disbanded in the late 1950's.
The badge is in good condition, with good colour and light wear.
To back is a thread bolt, but missing the fixing nut.
No maker mark.
