Friends, just a heads up that we will be at the 64th Annual Victoria Gun Show, October 25 & October 26, 2025 at the Saanich Fairgrounds in Victoria, BC.

Come on out and say it- we miss seeing all of you in the store (except that one guy, he knows what he did). We’ll have plenty of great stuff for you to peruse.

For those of you in Calgary wondering where we are, we had vehicle failure on the road.

Luckily we are back in Victoria now but needless to say we are disappointed.

Many of the items we planned to sell at the show will now be up on our eBay site.

Enjoy the show everyone.

This collection is no longer for sale.

We’re very excited to offer up for sale this amazing collection of a truly one-of-a-kind group from a true legend in the Canadian military!

General Gérard Charles Édouard Thériault, CMM, CD (June 5, 1932 in Gaspé, Quebec, Canada – October 13, 1998 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) was Chief of the Defence Staff between 1983 and 1986. Thériault joined the RCAF in 1951, received his wings in 1952 and was one of the early members of the ”Mach Club” having broken the sound barrier.

In addition, Thériault was also one of the first members of the RCAF’s “Sky Lancers” the predecessor of the Golden Hawks and today’s Snowbirds. The aerobatics team formed in 1955 and disbanded after only a year after a fatal crash and the Golden Hawks were formed in 1958.

There is simply far too much to show here! In addition to the Mess Dress uniform and medals, there is an extensive scrapbook that was kept of certificates, awards and original photos and newspaper articles.

If you want any further information, email Brent directly at: [email protected]. He will take additional photos and answer any questions you may have.

We are asking $12,000 Canadian for this unique and historic collection. To save the shipping costs, we will be attending the Historical Arms Collectors Show, March 16 & 17.

For those of you in the know, I don’t have to tell you how rare this badge is. Rumour is a run of 50 was done for the officers who could afford them- many just wore the OR’s version. Sterling, nicely hallmarked to a Vancouver maker I had never heard of.

If you’re not familiar with the PCMR, do yourself a favour and Google them. Amazing story of Homefront Heroes.

Also, don’t forget, we’re still buying collections- it’s how we acquired this gem!

Thanks to everyone for 32 years of great experiences. Yesterday was our last day in a physical location, with plenty of old friends dropping by to say “so long”. Many brought gifts (a few adult beverages were consumed).

Now the job of packing up the remaining items begins. Remember, we’ve already been on eBay for over 20 years now and will expand that offer.

For those who don’t already know- we’re on eBay.com NOT ebay.ca, and our seller name is CPMIL. We’ll also be continuing this site to keep you informed.

We’re down to 10 days and the store is starting to look strange…

Do yourself a favour and drop by- at these prices people are buying multiple items for future birthdays, Christmas and Father’s Day. 75% off is pretty tempting.

And don’t forget- only half of the store is military. The rest is other cool antiques.
