Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps RCOC Bullion Wire Blazer Crest

The Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps (RCOC) Bullion Wire Blazer Crest is an embroidered emblem formerly worn by members of the RCOC, a corps of the Canadian Army responsible for supply and ordnance services. This crest is produced using traditional bullion wire embroidery techniques, featuring gold and silver metallic threads to create a detailed and durable insignia. The design typically incorporates the RCOC badge, which often includes a shield, crown, and scrolls bearing the corps’ motto, accurately replicating official military standards. Intended for attachment to the breast pocket of a blazer, this crest served as a distinctive identifier for RCOC personnel, particularly during formal or ceremonial occasions. The piece reflects the organizational identity and historical significance of the RCOC, which played an essential logistical role for Canadian military operations throughout the 20th century. Its craftsmanship and materials are characteristic of military dress accoutrements from this period.
