Another Inglis MK1* example......2T plus some info on Z.L.&T. Ltd.

[6167]

I picked up this 2T Inglis MK1* from a fellow collector along with the correct earlier pattern holster. (for late 44, early 45 in-theatre use)

Kind of cool that Z.L.&T.Ltd was in my Town.....Guelph, Ontario.

Zephyr Loom and Textiles Company Limited was also know over the years as Zephyr Mills, Hammil Brothers, and HH Burrows Company.

I have attached a shot of a front gate pass badge and a shot of one of the 4 plants in Guelph about 1940, backing on to the Speed River where it meets the Eramosa river in Downtown Guelph. Apparently the 4 facilities employed about 1200 workers during the war. Another one of the larger plants was located at 72 Farquhar Street.

Lots of Textile Mills in the Guelph/Galt-Cambridge/Hespeler/and Kitchener areas of Southern Ontario due to plenty of rivers that were not navigable but produced Industrial Plant power. Have a look at the pics of the 2T....It's very clean, but a bit greasy inside, shows some holster wear, and has a very nice barrel. Cheers Paul
