Although I posted elsewhere (The Barracks and the Colt Forum), thought maybe I should let any fellow Canucks who might be interested know about my recent acquisition ..... the hitherto missing "crown jewel" for my Canadian military handgun collection ..... a nice Upper Canada-marked Model 1851 Colt London Navy revolver, one of 800 or so acquired by the pre-Confederation Province of Canada in 1855/56 for issue to Volunteer Militia Cavalry.  Follow one of these links for a look -
