global contacts; Jim Crombie, New Zealand Police Ballistician;
George Fassnacht, firearms authority; Mario Gainov, firearms
designer; Major Richard Keogh, USA, an unselfish friend always
ready to help; Bob Koch, firearms historian; Jack Krcma, a firearms
expert with a respected international reputation.
M.E. Millar, director, Correctional Staff College of Canada; John
Pullen, collector; Joseph R. Riling, Ray Riling Arms Books, for his
very diligent research and his permission to reproduce materials;
CWO Thomas Swearengen, USMC, another extraordinary con-
tributor and arms expert; Donald G. Thomas, friend, contributor,

technician of the Correctional Staff College of Canada.
We also wish to offer a heary ‘‘THANK YOU”? to many other
