MilSurp of the Month; June '13 - Revolvers!

[45collector]

First Place: 45collecter: 1958 Colt Police in .38 special (The story alone gets my vote but I am also a sucker for old colt D/A's)

Thanks. The old man actually passed away on the 15th. [sad2] Needless to say, the gun means a lot to me.

First Place: Entry #4- Juergen's Rast&Gasser. Cool, and rare. Me likey.
Second Place: Entry #11-bbarer's M1917. That's a beauty.
Third Place: Entry #9- USMA-82's Bulldog. Again, cool and rare.

Second Place: 1918 Webley Mk. VI; Australian service marked (One of my favorites and on my bucket list)
Third Place: JuergenG: 1918 Austrian Rast & Gasser M.98 in 8mm Gasser (A work of art in my opinion)

So just a tweak to bbarer's for future voters - makes my life very easy

First Place: Entry # 2
Second Place: Entry # 7
Third Place: Entry # 4

First Place: #2. 45collecter: 1958 Colt Police in .38 special - in memorium
Second Place: #11. bbarer: S/W M1917 in .45 acp - because that's my next pistol - how did he find it before me?
Third Place: #9. USMA-82: 1934 Spanish Bulldog in .32acp - just for the "what the hell is that?" factor.

The winner by a whisker:

#9. USMA-82: 1934 Spanish Bulldog in .32acp: 3/3/1/1 (8)

A three way tie for second:

#2. 45collecter: 1958 Colt Police in .38 special: 1/1/3 (7)

#7. ninermaine#2: 1918 Webley Mk. VI; Australian service marked: 1/2/2 (7)

#11. bbarer: S/W M1917 in .45 acp: 2/2/2/3 (7)

And third:

#4. JuergenG: 1918 Austrian Rast & Gasser M.98 in 8mm Gasser: 3/1/2 (6)

Thanks to all who participated. Looks like it was a diverse and interesting field with no clear cut contender.

As a reminder the scoring system is weighted; a 1st place vote is worth 3 points, 2nd = 2. 3rd = 1. So Juergen's entry above - 3/1/2 = one vote of each and translates to 1+3+2 = 6.

If we had to split hairs on second place, we have the 1/2/3 votes as a tie breaker. I would give 'official' 2nd place to 45collector with 2-1st place votes, followed by ninermaine with 1-1st place vote, and then bbarer with 3-2nd place votes.
