Canadian Forces Tri-Service Belt Buckle

The Canadian Forces Tri-Service Belt Buckle is a standardized component of military dress worn by members of the Canadian Armed Forces. This buckle is designed to represent all three branches—Army, Navy, and Air Force—through its emblematic insignia, featuring the Canadian Forces crest with a central maple leaf, three interlaced branches, and a crown. Manufactured from durable metal with a polished finish, the buckle is typically paired with a black or olive green webbed belt, and it has been used as part of both ceremonial and everyday service uniforms since the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968. The design reflects the unified identity of Canada’s military services and is regulated for official wear. Measurements generally accommodate standard-issue belt widths. This item is of interest to collectors of military uniform components and those researching Canadian military dress regulations.
