Got this the other day; a Valentine's day present from the wife. Full rig 1936 M34 Beretta in 9mm short (.380), army proofed Crown/RE, great bore. Too much snow to give it a test fire. Very tight action.

I picked this 1911 Commander Stainless. Not sure who built it or even who's frame it is built on. The seller claimed it to be "Caspian" and it is indeed roll marked Caspian Arms Ltd on the slide. The mark does not look like any factory Caspian marking I have seen before. Also, there are no numbers on the disconnect rail which Caspian does. Obviously an older custom build. I put a complete new spring kit in it and it functions fine. I have not been able to test for accuracy yet but it feels nice in my hands.
I have done a close inspection of every part and there is NO marking on the frame other than the serial number. Any thoughts on this one?

Carefully removed the side plate, chased out 53 years of pocket lint.... tiny bit of orange.... so i hit it with brake cleaner and lubed her up good to keep the orange away....
I can't afford guns i can't shoot.... so, i'm gonna shoot the f*** out of it....
If anyone has a S&W hard-on and they don't want me to shoot it, they can shoot me a PM with an offer
Had to post this on behalf of a non-member friend to see the reaction. He went to the 70th Battle of the Bulge event in PA and came home with an original, non-DEWAT German PAK40 7,5cm anti-tank gun. Restoration to follow. I may just join WWII re-enacting to serve on the piece.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

Just scored this nice little gun. My second-oldest gun (oldest is an centenarian Luger), it was made in 1919. The finish is actually better than it seems in this photo - yeah, it's speckled a bit but it's still very nice.
Don't know how it shoots yet. I'm going out to the back yard in a few minutes, though, and run a few rounds through her.

New toy, Vickers Glock 17, very excited to hit the range.
They are the best, enjoy.
Finally picked up a period slide and barrel for my P38. I purchased from another NES guy early last Fall for a steal ($200) with holster and 2 period mags, gun is 100% matching except mag with no import marks.
Here are a couple pics of original complete gun. Not sure if it was a training pistol or demilled back here stateside. Action still works and firing pin in tact
Picked up the new all matching slide on GB. AC43 properly marked for period and has import mark from Tewkesbury, MA on slide underside.
She is ready for the range finally. Anyone have an opinion on value for the package including original matching slide, original grips, period holster and new top half I just purchased?
sent wth crapatalk please pardon any autosubjects

Captured Walther Model 4
I just inherited this piece of history. It is a Walther Model 4 that was a captured Nazi gun. It was taken from a german officer by my wife's grandfather. It included the holster, two magazines, the original capture papers and a large amount of other memorabilia including patches, three nazi daggers, etc etc. I've included pictures of everything below:

Brand new CZ 75 B high polished model. I'll upload better/cleaner photos in a couple days. Still has tons of oil on it from the factory which doesn't make it shine quite as much. This fits my hand like a glove and has a real nice smooth trigger both DA/SA. Sights kinda suck but that's easy to replace.

And a brand new free state, no safety M&P shield 9. What a huge difference in trigger pull from the MA compliant model. This doesn't even need a trigger job.

View attachment 128000
Its Basically all the features from my favorite 92 variants rolled into one.
M9A1 Frame = Light Rail, Checkered front and back strap, beveled mag well, oversized mag release
Brigadier G slide = (de-cocker only) with Trijicon night sights.
Stainless barrel (blackened) with target crown.
*** also when you purchase any 90 series pistol between now and the end of march Beretta is giving a free range bag shooting glasses and ear protection ***

Couldn't venture a guess, but it will be less than an original, all numbers matching one would be, because you had to piece it together. HOWEVER... the nice part of that is that you can shoot it without feeling guilty about degrading any collector value! AND without having any collectors yammer at you about doing that. Use her hard and well!

Just... wow. Amazing collection. Amazing bit of history, and all the more valuable to your kids since it's their g'grandfather's. My inclination, were that mine, would be to have that collection mounted in a nice case to hang on the wall. Except for the gun, of course. Or maybe set up the display so that the gun comes out easily for range trips. But display that honorably. Yes, it's Nazi stuff, with the hated swastika... but as that Jewish FFL said to me, "Dey're dead, and I've got deir guns"! I think that applies here.
Thanks to both of you for sharing these - I enjoyed seeing them. Congrats on your new acquisitions.
