Finaly, I got my 1917 Erfurt Luger's pictures.

Hi guys, most of what Kidvett posted is quite right, however, it is possible to pass prohibited pistols on to a family member (brother sister spouse, child) provided that pistol is built prior to 1946, and of course was registered in the system as described previously. In this case, the new owner is grandfathered specifically for the pistol transferred to them (only) and may not purchase other prohibited handguns ... unless pre 1946 and they come from a direct relative.

So, many of these prohib class pistols may continue to be owned in Canada ... the more contemporary ones may well be lost, however, unless the laws are changed some day soon.
