More than four decades ago a Canadian veteran let me shoot shoot one just like that at the range, including the wooden holster stock.

I tried to pay him for the ammunition, but he refused - said that he'd been paid enough watching a young fellow take part in history. smile

Knowing that my hero Winston Churchill carried one in to battle made me feel extra special as I sent three stripper clips (of 10 shots each I think) downrange. grin

Your post brought these memories flooding back - Thank you SO much!
