They'll surplus them to the Italians but not us. Well at least the didn't end up on the ocean floor.

That photo looks old, why else would it be low res and black and white?

You're correct, that's a factory photo. They may only have a few, and they appear arsenal re-finished and used hard. These pistols were sold to several other governments, and are unlikely to be Canadian surplus.

We'll probably by them back for $500 each as part of a submarine deal with the British. At least they will be Canadian ambassadors to Italy, rather than girders.

 

[gaff]

the ones in Canada will be girders or manhole covers . it the policy.

I presume they have all been modified for commercial sale in Italy where military calibers are not allowed for civilians.

Only 1250,00 Euros!

They have buttstock attachment slot and rifle style adjustable sights and original barrel. Hmmm they selling them as rifles?

Among others Canada sent the TOE for an Infantry division to Belgium after WW II as military assistance. That included something like 1600 Inglis BHP's. Those guns were surplused by Belgium a few years ago. As I understand it the army took the chance to clean out old stocks and oddball stuff. Any of the early guns or Chinese contract stuff (tangent sights) they had were included. I've read that Canada also sent some 10,000 pistols to help re-equip the Dutch army in 1946. Not sure where these ended up or if the Dutch ever put them out onto the surplus market.
