Sorry Pitsword, I run an ad in my local paper as a collector looking to buy military and collectible arms. This gun has been in a gun safe since it's owner died in 1994. He was originally from N.J. but had moved to Virginia. His widow contacted me about some other guns. I have bought quite a few from her, some fantastic guns including older Colts, Smiths and Winchesters. This was to be a keeper for her but concern over a family member's honesty forced her to sell it. She thought I would appreciate and value it. She was correct. I intend to attempt to find out more about the Captain and have contacted the Canadian archives for possible additional info. If any of you can suggest a means to track his military time in Europe, I would appreciate it greatly.
