Hi,
Anyone know of anywhere or anyone that does the Canada Lend Lease decals that was on the front strap of Inglis No2 Mk1 pistols of wartime vintage.

Cheers
Danny

IIRC, Koldt here was the one who had them reproduced... Of course, I could be wrong...

Wouldn't mind knowing myself.

I believe it was headdamage. I have a couple strips I picked up at the Calgary gunshow a couple years back.

tried searching with no results.

Where can we get some?

I made them first then Koldt took over. His are a bit nicer than mine from what I've seen. I'm not sure if I have any left but I could do another run sometime. Give him a shout first and see if he still has any.

There is a guy at the HACS show in Burnaby BC had a sheet of them last month. I think Can Am knows him.

The Lend/Lease Act was strictly American legislation designed to get around their neutrality. There was no Canadian version. The Inglis decal was a nationalist thing.

I was wondering, what do the letters on the decal mean? Did a search and could not find anything.

You are partially correct, the term "Lend Lease" is just the easiest way of getting the point across, it is not a formal Canadian term.

You are wrong however in believing that there wasn't a similar Canadian program. IIRC it was refered to as "Mutual Aid" ~ that is where all the 8mm Brens, 9mm Hi-Powers ect. came from.

Why do Canadians always bring up topics that piss me off! What am I talking about? A number of years ago I could have purchased an Inglis with an intact Maple Leaf! Did I buy it? No, I procrastinated and it is another deal I kick myself for not doing. Topics like this make me rethink my pro Canada attitude. Fear not, I still love my Canadian cousins. Regards, Richard

We love you too, Richard! (in a purely platonic way, of course)
