Finally, won a Sturgess pistol

It's not easy to win a Sturgess pistol, but finally I won one today -- Chinese Taku C96 copy. Not dirt cheap... will cost me about $1500 after all cost counted, but it's all matching. Only two guys competed on it. Not hot.

I have been looking for a representative Chinese C96 copy for a while. Finally, this one comes. Chinese guns are just like this... no rust no pits, but its bluing technology was poor, so it lost almost all blue, becoming a "white gun".

Having a couple of these in collection is not bad. So far I am happy.
