The Cdn forces Inglis Hipower handguns remain Canada's standard sidearm. Produced in 1944/45, this makes them 60 years old. And they still show up to units in the grease and with the lend lease decals on them.

The C-1 105mm Howitzers are still in limited service as well, (avalanche duties at Roger's pass in British Columbia) although while the carriages are usually wartime dated, the gun was produced by Sorel Industries and is early 50s.
