GREAT PHOTO, and great collection Adam.
 
I think they're both original as well. I haven't looked at many repros, but the ones I have seen are pretty obvious. The dark one does have the "made in Canada" stamped into it that people seem to think automatically makes it a reproduction, but I question the fact that those stamps were applied by the original maker and not by some unknown source after the war. In any case, the dark one came with one of the pistols for a small price increase, so even if it is a reproduction, I didn't exactly pay dearly for it.

Thanks for the kind words. Once I get a chance to take some real photos, I'm going to start a thread about the Mandarin slide pistol because I think the collective insight that we can dig up on it may help explain its existence, lol

The "Made in Canada" stocks were at one time exported or destined to be exported to the USA. Hence they received that stamp. Then at some point were brought back or simply weren't exported and remained here. Or at least that's the info I received from a couple independent sources. However just like any folklore, might be just beer talk.

I too have seen a few repos, and they were obvious. Cheap.
 
koldt, I had heard that somewhere too, but I wasn't sure if it was just a rumor or if there was any sort of evidence to support it. I have, however, heard lots of people say that the "Made in Canada" stamped stocks are definitely reproductions; which I think is incorrect.

can14, did the surplus stocks you speak of have the "Made in Canada" markings or were they blank?

Depends on where and when I got them; some are pinned with a dent on the side of the body, some with a tab or rod spot welded or brazed into the inside of the mag body, and some with a rod on the follower so it bottoms out against the floor plate.

I'm away from home for work for the next week and a bit, so I won't be able to take pictures until I get home.

Just to add, I heard that the Made in Canada was need to assist for the US to have these stocks listed on the NFA C&R list.
Pistol stocks are an issue down there.
 
I just have the one wood stock, and there are no markings of any kind on the wood. I just have a "JI" on the metal catch. I have heard from other collectors that most of them that do not have the "Made in Canada" stamp still have a small "/C\" mark on the wood. Can anyone else confirm this?
Thanks

Adam nice collection , didn’t know how much you are into Hi Powers. might have some JI junk, in the room. you and Steve can fight over it . have some other stuff for the 22 also.
 
I found some Un numbered inglis barrels . I was wondering if anyone knows someone who could number them
properly? Had them put away for years and found them looking for something else.
