It's strangely beautiful. I must say, padredan, where do you keep running into these interesting pistols? I've been rather captivated by all the posts and photos to date!

it's more like they keep running into me/lol. i have been an avid gun collector for years and former armor. when i find guns of interest i will go and check them out, sometimes buy them. My connection to alot of the older veterans lead me to some intresting finds.
