Fess up

davidkachel · 12-19-2006, 04:55 PM

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.

Edward Tinker · 12-19-2006, 05:02 PM

David, I decided a long time ago that it only made sense to buy one type of gun.

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...

davidkachel · 12-19-2006, 05:09 PM

Ooohhh! Green with envy!
I think I'm going to regret starting this thread.

Ed, Jack Hiles had one of these and we shot it last Winter..

davidkachel · 12-19-2006, 05:20 PM

and this...

davidkachel · 12-19-2006, 05:24 PM

or, how about this ...

davidkachel · 12-19-2006, 05:27 PM

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.

Jack sent me several "clips" so I could shoot her at your house. Very nice of him.

Iaoshi
Are the parts strawed on that pistol? Thats a nice looking piece.

Heinz · 12-19-2006, 07:14 PM

You could specialize in one calibre

Edward Tinker · 12-19-2006, 07:16 PM

nice 32's

pipeman45 · 12-19-2006, 07:59 PM

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!

Heinz · 12-19-2006, 08:12 PM

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.

davidkachel · 12-19-2006, 08:44 PM

OK, I'm buyin' a digital camera. You guys ain't gonna win that easy.
Lot's of nice guns by the way.

stefanosg · 12-19-2006, 09:16 PM

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.

davidkachel · 12-19-2006, 09:19 PM

Damn, green again!
Nice Dreyse.

davidkachel · 12-19-2006, 09:23 PM

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.
