It was not until '63 or '64 that I saw C.I.l. at the time, nor was his martini INTL that he used for many years. I have log books from the 50's that belonged to my father when he was doing R&D for the Amunition devision in the 50's, and he used model 70's then, but they were not stamped C.I.L. The guns i am talking about were OEM from contractors in the 60's and 70's. , yes, canda safety fuse being one, Dominion explosives, etc. Weren't those purple paper hulls something else? My all time favorite shot shells, Canucks and Imperials were CIL if I'm not mistaken. The same way Grumman went from Hellcats to bass boats after V-J Day. The guns, which you say were re-branded CIL from other jobbers, were likely an attempt to spin off the military production. Cat, correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm sure you will) but wasn't CIL - which was primarily a chemical company - a major ammunition and explosives manufacturer during the War? (That would be WW II for you younger fellows.) ![]()
