Canadian 4th Machine Gun Company cap and collar badge. The cap badge is made of Browning copper with a maple leaf background. This badge is unique in that the image of the Colt Automatic Gun Model 1895 on its tripod is head-on rather than in profile. Continuing that image, the brass collar insignia is also unique in that it depicts the head-on view of the barrel, bore and front sight of the Colt Automatic Gun Model 1895. In 1917, the 4th Machine Gun Company was absorbed into the 2nd Canadian Machine Gun Battalion.
