how about a $2,500 cap badge?

That is quite often the sort of thing that was a gift from the officers of a regiment to the wife of their departing C.O.

I was thinking along those lines too.

The Toronto Scottish also have such a brooch which was given to the regiment by the family of a former CO who had it made for his wife. Here is the link: http://tsrpd.com/regiment/commanding...-s-brooch.html

That's OK. So was the wife of the departing C.O.

If only they had two, one for the wife and one for the girlfriend.

Perhaps the other one hasn't come up for auction yet. "Oh, look dear, someone has a brooch just like mine!" Good reason to request a quick foreign assignment.
