Any idea where to buy an old design Canadian maritime flag? The one with the shield on the red duster?
Can't seem to find a place which makes them.

Try asking historical marine/military reenactors up there, as they'd be the ones to know. Museums might be another resource, hard to say.
These guys have some historical flags but don't see the one you are describing -

The first one is the "old" National Canadian flag before the Maple Leaf;
The second is the Canadian Merchant Marine flag.

On 'antique' vessels, the red ensign is flown sometimes as part of that vintage look. It should still be commonly available.
