Funny Historical Accounts
VICTORIA TIMES (19TH SEPT 1990)
Another wartime incident caused Danny Simpson of Ottawa, Canada, much
grief. In 1990 he was given six years imprisonment for robbing a bank of $6000
using an elderly Colt .45 pistol. He was arrested and the gun was impounded
by the police, where it was recognised as an extrenely rare collectors'
item, worth between $12,000 and $100,000. It was made under licence by the
Ross Rifle Company in Quebec City during WW1, one of only 100 Colt .45's
ever made there. Simpson could have walked into any gun shop and sold the
pistol for at least twice the haul from his raid without breaking the law.
