Interesting pictures from a Regimental Museum in Quebec....

Thanks for the great pictures,did the tag attached to the gun note anything ?

We had an intelligence Officer at the Infantry HQ at Warminster who always expressed grave misgivings - to the point of ludicrousness - about the notion of 'sterile' weapons. Arguing that even the average gun enthusiast armed with 20 year old copy of Janes could identify the source of a weapon. Once you have the source, regardless of the serial number applied or not, at the time or afterwards made such a weapon immediately 'un-sterile' Just the opinion of a senior Intelligence Officer for what its worth!

Source as in manufacture doesn't much matter,but source as from who supplied it does.
The principle of deniability in past arms trading to groups and factions in C & S America,Tibet etc and fake headstamps on ammunition is a well troden path.

Sam Cummings for one when working for the CIA and afterwards suppling them is covered in the book 'Deadly Business' which my be of interest and a bit of light reading for the 'senior Intelligence Officer'
