A perfect and un-issued British made Canadian Armoured Corps shoulder title

This is a good example of a un-issued British made Canadian Armoured Corps shoulder title. The Canadian Armoured Corps was authorized on 13 August 1940, and created as an administrative organization to hold reinforcements for armoured regiments in Canada and overseas. After the Second World War, the Corps comprised all armoured and reconnaissance regiments and other armoured establishments. The authority for the corps came from General Order 250/40 effective 13 August 1940. A Corps Headquarters, Canadian Armoured Corps, CASF was mobilized 13 August 1940 as well. As the role of armour was expanded dramatically during the Second World War, the former Tank regiments, which were considered Infantry units, were redesignated as armour, as were many cavalry regiments and eventually infantry1 regiments as well.
