Inherited WWI Pistols **Updated with Sauer 1913 pics!**

To those who are concerned about the legality of the transfer I assure you The pistols are now in MY name, legally registered to me. The CFC/CFO actually approved both transfers in less than 24hrs.

I do not have 12(6), just an RPAL... BUT now that I have inherited a 12(6) I am considered 12(7). That means: I may possess the newly inherited firearm, keep it in my place of residence, hold a reg certificate for it in MY name, and take it to my club under my current ATT to use for target shooting purposes... However, I may NOT acquire any other prohib firearms with this new status, unless also inherited.

Can I acquire a prohibited firearm if I am not grandfathered?

No you cannot:

Exception: If you are not grandfathered, the only prohibited firearms you may possess or acquire are handguns with a barrel length of 105 mm or less or that discharge .25 or .32 calibre ammunition, and only if all of the following criteria are met:

* the handgun was made before 1946, and
* the handgun was registered in Canada on December 1, 1998, and
* you are the child, grandchild, brother, sister or spouse of the lawful owner, and
* you are acquiring it for an approved purpose such as target shooting or as part of a collection.

In these circumstances, you can lawfully possess the handgun in question, but you are not grandfathered or authorized to acquire more prohibited handguns.
 
Great to see you can keep your heirloom, and that you had your ducks in a row before posting the story and pictures.
