Hi guys,
After a lot of badgering, starting at Beltring this summer, I've finally
secured a stock of reproduction WW2-pattern Canadian Red Ensigns, the
original 1922 pattern complete with female harp and green maple leaves.
These are 3' X 5', printed on polyester, and look pretty good! We flew
one at the Ballard/Notton/MLU Beltring encampment this summer, and the
interest generated by the public-at-large was great!
These ARE copies, but they're the original WW2 Canadian ensign pattern,
and it took me a year of searching to find them (most flag companies
only offer the 1957, politically-correct ensign). Best of all, they're
CHEAP!
I am pleased to be able to offer these to anyone interested in flying
the flag under which the Canadian Army Overseas fought in WW2. If you
have a Canadian WW2 vehicle, or a collection of Canadian WW2 equipment
of any sort, or if you reenact a Canadian WW2 unit, this is a must for
your display!
I'm not in the retail business per se, but the response I received from
the samples I took to England this summer was just too good... it's
gratifying that so many remember what this stands for.

Thanks, fly it proudly!
