Fess up
OK, we know most of you guys are Luger collectors but, fess up...
What else have you got behind those iron doors? I have a big weakness for black powder revolvers and most of my other guns are 50+ year-old classics or copies. |

so I have decided on lugerNambuManlicherColtHr types, although every now and then something catches my eye. Seriously, I "try" to buy JUST Simson and Weimar Police lugers, but... |

Granted, they're stock photos (I don't have a digital camera), but I bought 'em just like the pictures.
I have a number of nice original pieces too, but no photos. I guess I should really break down and buy a digital camera.

Whats behind door #3? A bunch of junk mostly, there is that un-messed with 1903 Springfield. And I almost forgot about the issue grade M1, w/an uncut 18"bayo,and a shooter grade Browning Auto-5 12gage. OHH and the Hi-Power,and Combat Commander.And a few AR-15s.And 2 or 3 more Browning rifles. But all the rest is junk. I swear it!

ED, thanks. The Colt is out of Harlan Kentucky where it supposedly belonged to a deputy sherrif. Looks like it was frequently used for nailing up election posters.

I like old 32's. In addition to a nice '34 Mauser, I recently go this little fella. The grips are repo's, but all else is matching.

This is on its way to me.
The grips go on a better Beretta I already have, then I'm selling this one. That's real elephant ivory, BTW. |
