Still waiting on the Chamelot-Delvigne, thank you very much Canada Firearms Center, but I picked up a few new ones since:



This is of course a Remington-Rand (the typewriter company, not the gun company) M1911A1 pistol, made in 1945. What's neat about this, other than being another manufacturer to add to the collection, is that it was a lend / lease gun sent to Britain, mainly issued to Commando and Airborne forces before the Inglis Hi Power. You can tell from the British-style lanyard ring attached to the American loop.



This is a British-issued Smith & Wesson Military and Police in .38 S&W. May be Canadian marked, won't know till I get it. I already have a transitional model pre-Victory (don't like that term), with the 5" barrel and smooth grips, but this is a straight Military & Police with the 6" barrel and chequered grips.
