Jim, you'll probably remember Lever Arms aka "Toys for Men" who were in the downtown core for years before moving to Burrard St. and 5th Ave. in Kitsilano. Old Man Lever scoured Europe and elsewhere for milsurps starting in 1949 and came up with amazing deals. U.S. G.I. surplus 1911's and 1911A1's starting at $69.00, 3 packs of brand new sequential serial numbered CZ75's for $1,000. Ljungman AG42B's for $169.00 SKS's for $99.99 and many, many more great deals.
