Just received the letter on #5788. It letters as a commercial shipped to Hurd & Co, like Jim Fisher's, but on June 4, 1915. Part of a shipment of 5 guns. Didn't catch the mistake before, but the barrel is 6.5". So we have a Canadian military marked shipped commercially. Could the military have required the owners of personal guns to submit them for approval to carry?
Great survey with a lot of work on your part and a lot of participation by the Forum.
