Nice Job!

Indeed Tom..
I would stand at attention and sing for such a razor!
Nice work, as always Mike.
Love the etching, And the artistic save..

So, The 'Dominion' of Canada. Does that put it at a point in history?
(Forgive me. I know little about Canada. Good Syrup! Oh! Good Whisky too!)

Between 1867 and 1944-ish it's what Canada was referred to as.
I quote below;

The name of Canada has been in use since the founding of Canada in the 16th century, with the name originating from a Saint-Lawrence Iroquoian word kanata (or canada) for "settlement", "village", or "land". The name Canada is pronounced /ˈkænədə/ in English, [kanada] in standard French of France, [kanadɑ] in standard Quebec French.[1] In Inuktitut, one of the official languages of the territory of Nunavut, the First Nations word (pronounced [kanata]) is used, with the Inuktitut syllabics ᑲᓇᑕ.

The first French colony of Canada, which formed one of several colonies within New France, was set up along the Saint Lawrence River and the northern shores of the Great Lakes. Later the area became two British colonies, called Upper Canada and Lower Canada until their union as the British Province of Canada in 1841. Upon Confederation in 1867, the name Canada was officially adopted for the new Dominion, which was commonly referred to as the Dominion of Canada until after World War II.
