WW1 Canadian CEF 1915 Dated Bore Light Mirror

The WW1 Canadian CEF 1915 Dated Bore Light Mirror is a specialized inspection tool issued to the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Marked with the date 1915, this item served an essential role in firearm maintenance by allowing armourers and soldiers to examine the interior of rifle barrels for fouling, damage, or obstructions. The mirror would be positioned at the breech end of the barrel, with a light source illuminating the reflected surface to aid inspection. Typically constructed from brass or other metals, these bore light mirrors are compact and utilitarian, designed for portability and durability in field conditions. The presence of clear Canadian CEF markings and a legible 1915 date are key attributes. As an original period item, it represents a piece of wartime equipment technology and maintenance practice unique to the era of early 20th-century military service.
