Does anyone own a caubeen, badged to a Canadian regiment?

I have a post-war one, or what I believe to be post-war, in my collection. It is c-broad-arrow marked, and was obtained without a badge. I've mated it to an Irish Regiment of Canada badge. It has absolutely no provenance - if this is of any value to you...

Hi Mike,

I need to photograph one for the book. Can you mail it to me and I will return it ASAP. I will cover postage both ways.
Cheers,
Clive

I took a week's vacation with a promise to myself of accomplishing some kind of task around the house each day. So far I managed to buy and build a new barbecue, arrange to have the place re-roofed, get an appointment with the bank to finance said roofing, clean the rust off my SUV running boards, and looks like today has been "find @#$&^% caubeen for Clive" since I had to go through every damn box in the basement!

I need to reorganize down there anyway, so it has been eye-opening...

I'm happy to say it sits in my hands as I type this. Shoot me your preferred mailing address and level of service (regular, express post, etc.) in a quick email and I will get it off to you today. I'm in no hurry to get it back. Hope it helps.

regular mail is fine.

The Caubeen arrived today. Some flunky at Canada Post forgot to route it via the black hole for its mandatory stay in purgatory prior to transiting through limbo and then back into the regular postal stream.
Thanks Mike, I 'll get this back to you shortly.

Slapping 100 dollars of insurance on my 10 dollar hat badge (though I guess those 10 dollar cap badges we bought 20 years ago are now worth 35 dollars now...), they told me I could get Expresspost for 15 cents more or so...I so rarely get to feel like Diamond Jim.

I must confess that one of the complications with being a long-time collector is that 'stuff' ends up amongst the things that you are familiar with. I have a couple of highland caps, but I am not certain how long I have had them ('decades' would be the closest I could guess), and not being a highland collector, I am not even certain what they are. I am pretty sure that one is a 1st WW balmoral badged to the 15th Battn CEF, and I believe that the other one is a well-worn 1944 dated 'cap' by L. Gilberston & Sons (with /|\) badged to the Cap Breton Highlanders.

Here are a couple of pics. If one is a caubeen, please let me know ...
