The badges, crests and insignia of the Canadian Forces are copyright and/or trade-mark protected. In accordance with Chapter 7, paragraph 58 of CFP A-AD-200-000/AG-000 "The Heritage Structure of the Canadian Forces" only a Commanding Officer may authorize reproduction of the formation or unit's official badge. Therefore, unless an order is accompanied by a signed letter from a unit Commanding Officer it will not be processed.

"I have been designing and supplying the finest hand embroidered (bullion) badges on the internet since 1998 and it would be true to say that during that period I have supplied literally thousands, but from time to time a project comes along that I can only describe as being a really important work. It may be a wedding Coat of Arms that will be passed from one generation to another, or perhaps it is researching and replacing a worn out blazer badge that meant so much to an aging veteran. Below is a partial sampling of a series of Canadian military blazer badges that we were commissioned to produce for the Museum de Voltigeurs, Quebec. Unfortunately the armoury was destroyed by fire in the late evening of April 4, 2008, due to a unforseen accident by a contractor. This complete collection was on permanent display beside the original cap badges of each regiment. The loss of the building is not only a blow to the City of Quebec, but it is a tragic loss to the Nation. This was a national heritage building with the largest suspended wood ceiling in the country, it also housed the permanent exhibition of the regiment’s weapons, uniforms and medals as well as valuable pieces like the Vimy Bell and regimental drums."
