A gaggle of classic WW II service pistols!
You might ask "why the interest in Nazi weapons" from me? The Washington Arms Collectors is moving into a new building at the Western Wa. Fairgrounds later this year. We will have a lot more room, so I will be able to expand my diplays and I detect a resurgance of interest in WW II era weapons, so I am trying to acquire some nice examples while they are still affordable! A rising tide raises all boats!!!!
With more patriotic movies coming out about WW II, that will fuel interest in these weapons. As I watched the Inauguration yesterday, almost every weapon carried by the marching groups was an M1 Garand or M14, with a few M1903 Springfields. Steel and wood, what REAL guns are made of! The sample contains 2-640(b) FN Hi Powers,one early with tangent sight and the other a late production. A 626(b) FN Mod. 1922, a Mauser P.38 and a Mauser HSc. Classic military handguns all!
