I thought that since everyone is having to jump through hoops to get an antique status letter and confirmation that indeed it is an antique from the RCMP it would be a great idea since some of us are thinking of doing our own letters to share and post the research you did to confirm the dates of manufacture of the antique firearm you have .Copy and paste what you have and/or show link to the info. so i'll go first.Please only research and no comments and bla bla bla .Lets keep this one clean and informative maybe it'll become a sticky .Share your knowledge.
