Rare sterling silver PCMR lapel pin, PCMR hat badge, Calibre magazine (hardcopy) on PCMR. Took me 4 years to assemble even this minor collection. The magazine depicts another Winchester of course - but same model, age and history. It’s amazing - talking about the original snowmobiles being conceived and guerilla tactics.
Don’t mind considering offers that aren’t my asking price. Will consider selling individual items if price is right, rather it be a package.
The magazines are just time warp. One of them introduces the concept of a “snowmobile” to the Canadian army, as it had just previously set out how to make your own snowshoes.

The pics have the amazing and rare copies (3) of “Ranger” - May 1945 showing V-E proclamation.
First and only Canadian army regiment with lever guns as battle rifle; meant for homegrown militia defenders of British Colombia from Japanese in WWII, only approx 2600 Winchesters made (many of which have been destroyed.
Purchased back from last collector who purchased from me - it was outstanding offer if still in same condition.
If you enjoy history, much less Canadian military history you will love this - so incredibly unique and disbanded at end of WWII. Truly a flash in the pan of unique Canadian rugged history.
In person, Toronto at Yonge at Queens Quay West. Read the article above and do your own search to see if the three are even currently for sale and you’ll see how rare.
Just aesthetic wear to furniture, no cracks. Putting normal with 85 year old gun, no rust issues with receiver or barrel. Well used, no wobble, sharp lever action, no looseness in any parts. Canadian Army marks clearly on receiver and furniture. Will appeal to small group, but I hope you have chance to enjoy collection. As the article says, even the gun (much less the much more rare lapel pin and cap badge is a “museum piece”).
