Adopt a gun

Alvisn,

I still think that, for unknown reasons, Brooms are underestimated as collectable guns. I mean, its full potential is as big as the Lugers but C96 collecting is still missing something.

And your collection should be something marvellous, as you focus only on pristine examples.

Greetings,

Douglas.

The antique LRH arrives. It looks great, matches GB description: all matching. The bore is good as well.

Doug -- As you can see, this is not pristine. It's a taste. For some reason, postwar guns have many mint instances, but it's not easy to see a pre-1899 one in pristine shape.... ~20 years difference in age..... considering the age of these guns, 20 years delta is not big. So why postwar variations have so many nice samples....

I would bet some people realized C96 could be a collectible in 1920s, so they reserved their newly acquired postwar guns.
