Anyone ever come across their issue rifle sold as surplus?

I have two uncles that were GIVEN their issue rifles upon retirement:D

This is one of them.

Many years ago, actually mid '90's, at the Calgary Easter gun show. I was walking the isles in search of a deal and heard a loud cheer. Apparently some WW2 vet had found the No4 he had been issued on a vendors table. Nobody new what the cheer was about until it was announced over the intercom and met with great applause.
