Lugar 08 inheritance

If he has proof that it was registeredin Canada at some point, he could get it under his name as a 12.7.

His father need to get it out of the ''bond''.

.
 
The Luger was shipped to a gun dealer in Canada that has a prohib license. So technically, I believe they are now considered the owner as I do not have a 12(6) on my license. I think this may be the major issue as the Luger would now have to be transferred to me from the dealer. The whole thing has been a logistical nightmare from the start. I did at one point check the history of the gun through the serial number and it was definitely first registered in Canada in the late 40s. Then again in the 80s to my father while at Canadian Forces Base Lahr,Germany. I think I will just apply for registration and provide all details and paperwork and see what happens. I guess the worst, is they say, no.
 
I do not believe this is the issue. If my father had the Luger still registered under Canadian Law till he shipped it over, then I think I would have had no problem acquiring it under 12(6) .
 
I think your chances are 50/50 ..the reason being if the Gun was registered in the 20 billion$$ gun registry, they could not of messed up and dropped the ball at left a gun out of it ( sarcasm). If you had at one point a green cert. They will see it, and that's your starting point.

If you did a quick call the CFP and provided the info on the gun as a family member, whey can quickly search if it there or not. I have had a few cases in life where a friend finds a gun cleaning out grandpa house. If there is a green cert issued you may be lucky. They can also search by your fathers pal # to see all guns

If the gun is registered to the gun shop I see a problem. Is it in their possession and stil in the fathers name or is it actually in the name of the gun shop. It must still be in your fathers name for you to inherit as a 12.7. Some information is missing here.
 
I am not sure where you / your farther stand, if it is still in the old system, maybe O.K., But if it is registered to the import company, and not your dad, I don't think it can go back, if you Dad has other 12-6 registered to him, it may work out.
If it was transferred out of his name, chances are you are out of luck, unless your Provincial CFO wants to "fix it "
A 12-6 had to be registered circa C68.
I had a old gun pop up in the old system still registered to me in 198o's that was sold at that time, a 12-6 now.
Registered in Ca. in the early days will have no effect on current status of the gun now.
In Bond does not mean it is in the country ( it is in limbo)
A 12-6 gun can not be imported into Canada, as it is not in the system already
Good luck, I think you will need it.

The gun could also be ''in consignment'' with this dealer as i do not believe a 12/6 gun can be registered to a store anymore, it only can be transfered to someone with a 12/6 RPAL, so technically it should be still in your fathers name, and could still be transfered to you as 12/7, but keep the old registration certificate as proof just in case.

If he needs another prohib registered to him just in case, Ellwood Epps usually has a bunch of 12.6 guns for pretty cheap. Right now, they have two Iver Johnson top breaks in .38 S&W for $99 each.

(a little closer to home) I would suggest mar star - they have prohibited stripped frames for super cheap. Jason Spencer (Gunco) also had some a while back.
 
It seems they're out of stripped frames at the moment, but they do have three FEG copies of the Walther PP in .32 ACP for $100-125, which, like the Iver Johnson revolvers, is better than a stripped frame because it's a functional firearm and can be fired at a range (though the Iver Johnsons were made before 1946).
