2014 Photo Shoot
Default 2014 Photo Shoot.
It was minus 14 degrees when I woke up this morning, so even though the outdoor lap pool in town is heated, I decided to forego my daily swim and spend the day giving the gun collection it's annual cleaning and inspection. These 11 are my permanent Navy collection, there are also 4 others, former place keepers, that I'm going to have to get around to selling, one of these days.
From the top, and going clockwise they are:
1/ 1906 Navy 1st Issue Alt. #1555, unit marked II.T.D./1579. (double matched magazine).
2/ 1906 Navy 1st Issue Alt. #6183, unit marked W.D./211. (matching magazine).
3/ 1906 Navy 1st Issue Alt. #6713, unit marked W.D./288.
4/ 1906 Navy 1st Issue Unaltered #3274a, unit marked W.K./947.
5/ 1906 Navy 1st Issue Alt. #7559a, unit marked W.W./537.
6/ 1906 Navy 2nd Issue #9707a.
7/ 1908 Navy #4319b.
8/ P08 Navy #39, 1st variation, (rarest of the rare, one of only three known).
