ftr 62

That means a Factory Thorough Repair at Enfield in 1962. If made there it would be marked with the intertwined ED of Enfield.

Enfield in Canada, right?

Or let me ask the question a different way: Where in Canada was the Inglis Hi-Power factory?

Thanks.

It could have been through a FTR when it was posted to CFE and went through a big workshop. These ended up everywhere as told in a story of repair and handling by Peter Laidler. They could be found in the hands of any of the commonwealth forces. Easy to see it going through an FTR in the UK at some point.

The Brirish bought about 40K John Inglis High powers for the SAS and Airbourne in WW2 and used them and FTR them into the late 1960's. They were replaced by FN-made High Powers until the Glock G17 replaced them in service.
