These rugged torches are highly valued by collectors today due to their heavy-duty wartime construction and their specific association with beach landing operations and elite commando units

Markings: Alongside "CCB" and "Made in Canada," these pieces are typically stamped with the code "AP16001" and the "C-Broad Arrow" (the official Canadian military government ownership mark).
The "AP" Designation: The "AP" stands for Admiralty Pattern. This model was based on a British Royal Navy design and was widely manufactured in Canada during the war to support Allied naval, commandos, {painted grey} and amphibious SBS operations {painted in non reflective dark green}.
