I might also suggest that you backtrack through the Canadian Handgun registry for Burlington, Ontario. Handgun registration in Canada has been mandatory since about 1934 - and even if Mr. Ross Egles was a recognized collector, copies of his handguns within his possession might be archived as part of the Registry.
In doing "original research" - I'm not sure if creativity in finding leads to track down is more important then "blind luck", but I'm pretty certain it's close to equal amounts of both....
