Hi Guys, here is my de-activated Canadian Inglis made 9mm Browning High Power Mark I*.
This example was made in 1944 for the Nationalist Chinese Forces. But Genralissmo Chiang Kai-sheck could not afford to pay for them and production was diverted to British and Canadian forces, with many going to Airborne and Special Forces. This example has the long range sights and slotted butt to take the wooded shoulder stock come holster. Later production did away with these fancy features.
My example has all matching serial numbers. I am never very keen on anything repro but in this case I caved in and bought a repro shoulder stock. But the special webbing hanger is original.
Cheers, Ade.
