The 100th (Prince of Wales’s Royal Canadian) Regiment
Scarce variation of Ryan Fig.146, the numbers are not outlined unlike the previous shown examples, and the maple leaf at each corner of the ends does not extend proud of the corners unlike the previous examples.
Other ranks pre.1871, I’m not sure if the outer ring is correct?
