Tail Pistol No. 28 Mk. II A

[Antoon]

Hello,

I have seen today two Tail Pistols No. 28 Mk III with the addition A. So No. 28 Mk IIIA.

Both pistols were made by CA/C in 1941.

Who knows what the addition A means? Ik know the addition * with the tail pistols, like No 28 Mk II* and No. 30 Mk III*

Sorry, again a typo. I have changed the text.

Yes it has to be No. 28 Mk IIIA. But still the question, what is the A meaning?

The answer of my question is on the forum self.

So the No. 28 Mk III A is made in the USA.

Is the abbreviation CA/C used by the Lake Erie Chemical Co from Cleveland Ohio?

As far as I'm aware CA/C is a canadian manufacture.

Nose pistol No 27 and No 42

As far as I know the British Nose Pistol No. 27 was already in use by the RAF by the outbreak of WW-2. When has the replacement, the Nose Pistol No. 42, entered service? Gr. Antoon
