C Broad Arrow

I have a KFS set, marked "SILCO" 1952 which has the C Broad Arrow embossed thereupon.

Anyone know when the Canadian Army stopped using the C Broad Arrow designation on military items of kit?

Officialy it ended in 1949. It did, however continue to be applied into the early to mid 50s on things like clothing, and continued to be applied to small arms parts for maybe a little longer, although that may have been at the unit armourer level.
For a great article on the history of the broad arrow, check out the January 1956 Canadian Army Journal.
