    A-Square 10 my friend, my comments concerned the use of arms in an armed conflict ( overseas ) as i am a military person. In the vast , democratic , free and relatively violent crime free society that i live in just north of your own beautifull , democratic and vast one , i have never felt it nessessary to carry firearms either long nor short for defensive purposes. It is true that i live in a relatively small city of less than 500,000 but the comment is fair from coast to coast except maybe in very large urban areas . But if i felt threatened in any way or fashion , the Inglis High Power would do the job quite nicely. I sincerely hope your neighbourhood has not developped into a combat zone.Just a friendly and neighbourly comment. Regards. Major Bob

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    If I had to rely on a revolver A square and Major Bob, I'd use an old .38" No2 Enfield too, simply because like the Browning No2 and our L9's, I've been brought up on them, know them inside out and know them like old trusty and reliable friends. Call it a sixth sense, but I just trust them

    I wish we could get the Inglis Browning made into a regular section of the Cdn. Military Surplus Knowlege Library. We have the contributors available to do that with photographs and text. I am on the hunt for a good Inglis MkII to add to my small Cdn. small arms collection. Unfortunately, it seem that the Govt. won't be making any available to the public when they finally convert to a new pistol. Like the Red Rose Tea commercial: "only in Canadaicon you say, pity!

    Since it's show and tell, here is half of mine, holster/stock around somewhere.

    It's a welded blank used in the Long Branch Woodshop...

    That's cool, a salvaged frame & slide, quite possibly from damage during testing turned into a useful tool.

    Also if you search the picture thread: Inglis Browning High Power photo - mrclark photos at pbase.com
    You probably see a contemporary photo of your toy...

    My Grandfather worked at LB, and when the Inglis/Browning contract was over, brought it home for my dad...
    I'll try and find out the date.

    Bullseye, I wish I had access to that pstol when I was writing Inglis Diamond. It is very possible that your pstol is the exact pistol show in the hands of the factory worker. I will dig out my 8x10 print and see if I can make out a number.
    As to the many other comments on this thread, I suggest you read through the book as many misconceptions wil be clarified there.
    Cheers,
    Clive

    Wonderful discussion! I was issued a mint condition pistol with sticker, on arrival at 4 Svc Bn, Lahr Germanyicon in 1971. Fired about 100 rounds in 3 years. Was reluctantly returned to stores in very, very nice condition. Now own lovely T serial and have three different holsters. There was a time ( about 1980) when there was some concern about broken barrel lugs on a very small number of high milage units.
