I feel those of us of the baby boomer generation had the best access to war surplus. Just 2 or 3 decades after the war ended warehouses full of stuff (neat stuff) became available cheap. In Vancouver the biggies were 3 Vets and Army & Navy. Lee-Enfields in cosmoline sold for $5. Besides Crown another large one was Sabre Industries in Winterpeg.
