This SW2-C example is held by the The Maritime Museum of British Columbia. Held in the museum's storage facility for a number of years, it remained as a yet-to-be-discovered artifact until its identification was confirmed during the week of June 4, 2012. This is believed to be the only surviving example of its kind.
