Larry, good luck on your sale! I believe you are the first person on the Forum in about a year to use the correct term Ordnance in reference to Artillery &c. besides myself. Congratulations. Now we need to educate our dear brothers in the difference between Calvary and Cavalry, LOL! I use to have many of the Antique Ordnance books back in the day and they are great.

I wonder what kind of ordinance the calvary in Calgary had back in the day.
