WW2 Canadian RCN Navy Blancoed Gaiters Size 4 C Broad Arrowed

The WW2 Canadian RCN Navy Blancoed Gaiters, Size 4, are authentic military issue items from the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War. Gaiters such as these were worn by naval personnel to provide ankle support and protect the lower legs from debris and water when working aboard ships or during shore operations. This pair has been blancoed, meaning they were coated with a whitish cleaning and coloring paste commonly used at the time to maintain a uniform appearance. The gaiters are marked with the broad arrow stamp, signifying government property, and are sized as 4, indicating a particular fit according to period standards. Constructed from durable canvas with sturdy metal buckles and leather reinforcements, these gaiters reflect the practical design intended for use in demanding naval environments. Their markings and finish are consistent with official Canadian military issue during the 1939–1945 period.
