You will also notice that we offer models often way below the price of other companies advertising on the eBay. We are able do this because of the direct manufacturing and selling basis of our business - models direct from the factory and not from an intermediary or trading / marketing company. All plaques are shipped internationally through DHL or UPS Express Courier (Door to Door worldwide within 3 business days. Fully traceable and insured against damage or loss).
It is our aim to continue to be a "sustainable" manufacturer avoiding the use of man-made materials wherever possible such as plastics, resins or metal in an attempt to reduce our Carbon Footprint and to protect our environment for generations to come. Our models are "works of art" and not to be confused with mass made plastic kits or diecast (die cast) look-alikes. We are proud Filipino's exporting to all parts of the globe and creating employment opportunities in an impoverished part of our country.

Unveiling the Emblem of Valor: The Canadian Forces Emblem Plaque Seal
In the heart of Canadian military tradition lies an emblem that symbolizes valor, sacrifice, and the unwavering commitment to peace and security. The Canadian Forces Emblem Plaque Seal is not merely a symbol but a storied badge of honor, representing the ethos and the unity of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). This article delves into the emblem’s design, its significance, and the features that make it a cornerstone of Canadian military identity.
A Confluence of Heritage and Valor:
The Canadian Forces Emblem Plaque Seal ingeniously integrates elements that reflect Canada’s rich military heritage and its dynamic present. At its core, the emblem serves as a visual representation of the bravery and dedication of the men and women who have served—and continue to serve—under the Canadian flag.
Key Features of the Emblem:
- The Maple Leaf: Central to the emblem is the iconic maple leaf, rendered in striking red. This national symbol of Canada is emblematic of the country’s unity and strength, resonating with the collective spirit of its people, including its armed forces.
- The Crossed Swords: Beneath the maple leaf, crossed swords are prominently featured. This traditional military motif represents the readiness and resilience of the Canadian Forces. The intersection of the blades signifies the convergence of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, highlighting the integrated defense approach of Canada.
- The Royal Crown: Sitting atop the emblem, the Royal Crown signifies loyalty to the Crown and the constitutional monarchy of Canada. It is a nod to the historic roots of the Canadian military and its ongoing commitment to upholding the principles of democracy and governance.
- The Motto: Encircling the emblem is the motto “A Mari Usque Ad Mare” (From Sea to Sea), echoing the national motto of Canada. This phrase underscores the CAF’s commitment to protecting the country’s sovereignty and interests across its vast geographical expanse, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the Arctic oceans.
- Bilingual Identity: Reflecting Canada’s bilingual character, the emblem incorporates both English and French, denoting the inclusivity and diverse heritage of the Canadian Forces.
Significance and Usage:
The Canadian Forces Emblem Plaque Seal is more than an ornamental insignia; it is a beacon of pride and a reminder of the solemn duty to country. It adorns military installations, uniforms, and official documents, serving as a constant reminder of the sacrifices made by Canadian servicemen and women.
In public ceremonies and international missions, the emblem fosters a sense of unity and shared purpose among the troops, while also representing Canada’s commitment to global peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts.
Conclusion:
The Canadian Forces Emblem Plaque Seal stands as a powerful symbol of Canada’s military heritage, valor, and the enduring spirit of its armed forces. It encapsulates the principles of courage, loyalty, and the relentless pursuit of peace—a testament to the strength and character of Canada and its people.
