Markings on Canadian items

Hello !
Not long ago i won this duffel bag and there is some marking on the bag .It seams to be hand painted and i was wondering if it was the normal way of doing it and if they had to have those marking on the item.
I have been told that the owner (canadian soldier) landed in sicily got wounded there and send back to England . So is the marking related to the regiment he was in ? and the Exit / 2.0 means ?
thanks for the help in advance

Another Mystery Holster

Please help me ID another holster from the "pile". I bought it cheap, and it looked like a Radom Vis holster. It is left handed. The 1911A1 holster is shown for size comparison.

So, what do I have ? And thanks in advance for your help.

Cpl. Jacob Huron Neal ~ In Memory of a Fallen Family Member…

Birth: Mar. 19, 1983
Death: Jan. 19, 2007

Al Anbar Governorate, Iraq

Marine Cpl. Neal was assigned to 1st Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Jacob was killed while conducting combat operations in Iraq. Jacob had decided while still in high school that he would join the military but 9/11 was the defining moment for him. When he graduated from Crockett High School in Texas, he signed up and wanted to go to Iraq. His unit was not scheduled to leave for Iraq for some time so he went to Michigan to join a unit that was deploying to Iraq soon. He always tried to help others, and was a person who wanted to try his best and to succeed for himself – he never asked anyone for help.

Burial:
Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery
San Antonio
Bexar County
Texas, USA
Plot: Section 25, Site 1761


Rest in Peace fallen hero, you are missed.

No4Mk1(T)

I had wanted an Enfield sniper for many years when this one wandered into view. It now spends most of its' time leaning in the corner of my den. I've only taken it out to the desert one time but it was very fun to shoot. I love the history behind them and feel fortunate to have it.

Thanks for looking!

WW2 Service Pistols

While not complete yet, my collection of WW2 service pistols is here.

1911A1 is a Remington Rand with a US&S top end.
Nambu Type 14 was a gift from a friend whose dad brought it back from Tarawa.
Radom Vis is Nazi marked and in beautiful shape.
P38 is in beautiful shape and has the orig hard shell holster and matching mag. And it is by far the most accurate P38 I’ve ever fired.
P08 is a double stamp that was rebarrelled for WW2 in 9mm.

I have not fired the Nambu, but do have 500 rds of ammo (not original). I need a holster for the Vis, but have them for the rest.
