Fess up
 

OK, we know most of you guys are Luger collectors but, fess up...
What else have you got behind those iron doors?

I have a big weakness for black powder revolvers and most of my other guns are 50+ year-old classics or copies.

David, I decided a long time ago that it only made sense to buy one type of gun.

so I have decided on lugerNambuManlicherColtHr types, although every now and then something catches my eye. ;)


Seriously, I "try" to buy JUST Simson and Weimar Police lugers, but...

Ooohhh! Green with envy!
I think I'm going to regret starting this thread.

Ed, Jack Hiles had one of these and we shot it last Winter..

Jerry Burney

OK, take this...

and this...

or, how about this ...

Granted, they're stock photos (I don't have a digital camera), but I bought 'em just like the pictures.

I have a number of nice original pieces too, but no photos.
I guess I should really break down and buy a digital camera.

Jack sent me several "clips" so I could shoot her at your house. Very nice of him.

Are the parts strawed on that pistol? Thats a nice looking piece.

You could specialize in one calibre

nice 32's

Whats behind door #3? A bunch of junk mostly, there is that un-messed with 1903 Springfield. And I almost forgot about the issue grade M1, w/an uncut 18"bayo,and a shooter grade Browning Auto-5 12gage. OHH and the Hi-Power,and Combat Commander.And a few AR-15s.And 2 or 3 more Browning rifles. But all the rest is junk. I swear it!

ED, thanks. The Colt is out of Harlan Kentucky where it supposedly belonged to a deputy sherrif. Looks like it was frequently used for nailing up election posters.

OK, I'm buyin' a digital camera. You guys ain't gonna win that easy.
Lot's of nice guns by the way.

I like old 32's. In addition to a nice '34 Mauser, I recently go this little fella. The grips are repo's, but all else is matching.

Damn, green again!
Nice Dreyse.

This is on its way to me.
The grips go on a better Beretta I already have, then I'm selling this one.
That's real elephant ivory, BTW.

This is starting to get really good!

I like Heinz's approach, caliber groups.

Here's mine - the neat thing is that Granddad must have liked the .32,
Both the 1849 Colt Pocket and H&R belonged to him before dad handed them down to me.

This colt too has had a rough life, no idea what kind of shape it was in when he first got it. The H&R sports a holster cut down to fit.
The PP is a military that I picked up along the way.

You shouldn't have got me started!

A year or two after I started to buy guns including Lugers, I realized that a dollar I paid for something else was a dollar I couldn't spend on a Luger. I sold off or traded my P-38, Radom, .380 Remington model 51, Astra 400, and an Enfield .32 revolver on the principle. I still have a Ruger Mk.III so I can shoot .22 with the same grip angle as a Luger, and a "Vilar" Ruby-pattern pocket pistol which is in such bad shape it has no trade value.

Of course I keep my Remington Fieldmaster .22 (my first rifle), my grandfather's 16ga. Model 12 Winchester, and the Model 94 saddle-ring carbine which stood behind the door at my grandparent's sheep ranch in central Oregon. Wouldn't sell those for anyting.

Sorry no pics.

Nice David.
Hugh, It is time for the armadillo's to show what a 7.65 should look like :-)

Hi Christian,

Yes, I like the little Mausers very much.

Hugh,

About 3 months ago a woman came in the shop where I work with an old cardboard box. She said that she was cleaning out her Grandfather's house after he had passed on, and found these.

She wanted to know if they were worth anything. She said that her neighbor had offered her $175 for them. We looked in the box and found a pair of Colt Bisley's in 38-40, each in an old wool sock. They were in about 85-90% condition and were 4 serial numbers apart. I think they were made in 1902, if I recall correctly.

We assured her that they were worth much more than $175. Joe offered to buy them at a fair price, but she hasn't been back.

I didn't know that you like Colt SAs or I would have tried to get contact info.

Kind of made my jaws ache.

Ron

Christian,

I only have one Imperial marked 1914. Ser# 88607. Top row, far right in the photo.

Ron

Tac,

Very sad indeed. My heart goes out to you.
You would think the British, of all people in the world, would know better than to give up their guns.

If you're ever in Utah, give me a call. We'll load up the 4x4, go out in the desert and throw enough lead into the dirt to tilt the Earth's axis. My treat.

Iaoshi
I love that look on a 1911,I have never seen it before. Guess Im gonna have to try it. thanks clint

Drooling over Ron's little Mausers.
I can't find even one dammit!

There's no fool like a government fool.
Sooner or later a second "Guns for Britain" campaign will be necessary.

Tac,

When you get to Depoe Bay. We'll see if we can get some of those back in the safe for you. May not ease all of the anguish, but it sure can't hurt. Looking forward to meeting you there one day.

Ron

Also known as "The Devil's Paintbrush," this little gem wouldn't fit in the closet so I had to set it next to my desk. Anyone out there know where I can pick up a good condition holster for this baby?

Waistband or shoulder holster?

Good idea. Tac, when do you get back to civilization? You should put together a wish list and post it when you're ready to start stocking your safe again.

I only go to a half dozen gun shows a year :( but I will be happy to take your list with me and call you whenever I find something on it.

Hearing about any government, anywhere, grabbing a man's guns just pisses me off blue.
Here's my new signature:

Iaoshi made me do it
 

Iaoshi showed off his 1911 and I liked it so much I had to go make me one. I took a old sistama and reworked it right quick:)

Vince

I feel so deprived.:crying:
