1911A1 Colt Russian Contract

Roadkill · 02-03-2004, 09:08 PM

Picture isn't good, I'm hoping the computer enhancement God(s) can make the markings viewable,
haven't heard of this one before, but I don't get out a whole lot.

Nice site,

I was looking for signs of stainless steel lugers in Europe and this site has links to two Mitchells!

Thanks,

Gerben

This is the best I could do Roadkill...

I have heard that these Russian Contract Military 1911's are mostly in as-new condition as they were lend-lease military aid that never got issued...

John Sabato · 02-04-2004, 10:20 AM

Check with CMR online... I think they have some of these too.

RK,
I speak fluent Hick, but that does not match the unmatched convenience of German. I am quite jealous of this ability of yours.

Roadkill · 02-04-2004, 07:51 PM

Thanks for the kind words Wes, but think about Mauro (French, Italian, German, English) VanVlimmerman(German, English, Dutch), and Tac- I should most likely just list the few he doesn't know, would be shorter. And that's just a few here. Gotta admit though that German sure is handy if you like military history.

Wes,

Is that Latin hick?

Actually, in the South, where I used to live and was fortunate enough to sojourn for 4 months last year in RK's zipcode, there are two distinctly different dialects.

One equates to "hick"; which is basically red-neck in-bred, Blue Ridge mountain, "Dueling Banjos, put some chlorine in the gene pool" hick-sprache.

The other is "Soul" or "Jive" which, for fear of being labeled a bigot, racist, hon..well, you get the picture..I shall not go into further...Interestingly enough, almost no one who speaks one can communicate with one who speaks the other.

Virtually none of either speak loogieish.

Just curious, Tom A, what would be the occasion you might encounter in which a knowledge and resultant fluency in the latter would be of benefit to you? Is that where you find those Navy rigs? And did anyone else notice the similarity to to the Dean scream and the moment of tenderness on the Chatuga River in Deliverance? Me trying to understand the nicieties of Lugers is like well, my granddad out it best, He said" Never try to teach a pig to dance. You're wasting you time and the the pig gets mad".

I was interviewed by a Fed. agent yesterday, he asked me if I had ever traveled outside of the United States....I asked him if the south counted?...I think the comment hit his well placed "soul" funny bone.

Tom A,
Unfortunately, we could not claim descent from high enough breeding to be allowed to associate with the 'uptown' crowd, so I never acquired an knack for the "Blue Ridge mountain, Dueling Banjos, put some chlorine in the gene pool" hick-sprache". Penury was out plight, so we were denied the benefits of culture.
Pity. I would have cut quite a swathe on Tobacco Road!

Did anyone else notice the Norinco copy of the early Colt Woodsman? Not quite exact and it's threaded for a silencer but it's sure looks like a Woodsman or the later Sportsman.

To Mr. G. van Vlimmeren:

Now there is only one unused Luger left.

My best regards,

Atte.

I once worked, for a few years, in NE Ohio where, when my coworkers heard that I was from Virginia, they responded "oh a hillbilly."

To those folks then and to some here assembled now, I would point out that it was folks who lived along the Blue Ridge in Virginia that crafted, not only the Declaration of Independence but also the Constitution of the United States.

Many of us also go to sleep at night with our doors unlocked unlike those of you in the "croissant belt."

As my grandmother remarked many years ago " if we had it our way, you'ld need a passport to visit."
