"Heritage Pistol Collecting in the UK"?
 

New to this Forum and interested in Heritage Pistol Collecting in the UK.

Despite what the media tells you some of us UK Citizens do OWN proper cartridge pistols v B/P muzzle loading "smoke poles". Albeit, you can't just go out and buy a brand new plastic Glock but if you are really dedicated - pistols the like of Luger P '08 , Lahti M35, Walther PP, Mauser C96, Webley, Colt and S & W among others are all within your grasp - so if I can do it so should you!

BTW - I know of a very nice 1915 P '08 with holster up for sale at the moment - delivery in the UK to the "Designated Site" i.e. NRA Bisley FOC....
it would be an excellent way start to a Heritage Collection - that and anything in 455 and that can be arranged too...just bring UKP/USD - NO EUROS PLEASE.......
