After seeing MattMs post of his new rigs, I realized it was about time to get my family out of the safe. These shots have only the pistols; about half are full original rigs. All pistols but the Walther PP have spare magazines. Honorable mention to the 1911 M00 Browning that I sold last week to help fund the Victory. Future additions: M00 Browning, M08 Colt .380, M08 Colt .25, M17 Colt, M07 Savage, Reichsrevolver, Webley, French Ruby, and a U.S. military flintlock pistol.

Beautiful thanks for sharing. Any pics of the dreyse holster? Mine came with a pressed paper holster (not sure if correct). If you don't mind could you say what the army markings are. Mine is marked PACH 172 on the grip and I've never been able to find out the history on that one.

Other types of taken pressed into military service in WWI had a small Imperial proof; on the Dreyse, it was in front of the ejection port. The holster that it came with was not correct - a 1944 WaA721 EZGU Pebbled CZ27 holster - but was probably brought back that way.
