Obsolete-Expo '86 Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Security Force cap badge. Gilt/enamel
.
Exceptionally high-quality, beautiful gilt and enamel, robust metal cap badge
Tightly-controlled, officially issued, identification badges to a short-lived, special-event, Security Force that only existed between May and October 1986, making badges to this force very hard to find, particularly in this first-class condition.  Badge measures 63 mm (2 1/2 inches) high X 58 mm (2 1/4 inches) wide.  Screw post and retaining wheel on reverse for attachment.

Expo '86 Historical note
The 1986 World Exposition on Transportation and Communication, or simply Expo 86, was a World's Fair held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from May 2 until October 13, 1986. The fair, the theme of which was "Transportation and Communication: World in Motion – World in Touch", coincided with Vancouver's centennial and was held on the north shore of False Creek.
It was the second time that Canada held a World's Fair, the first being Expo 67 in Montreal (during the Canadian Centennial). It was also the third World's Fair to be held in the Pacific Northwest in the previous 24 years as of 1986 and to date, it still stands as the last World's Fair to be held in North America.
It was a great success, drawing over 22 million visitors, double that of Knoxville in 1982 and three times that of Louisiana in 1984.
