Colt 1911 Government all original manufactured in 1915, including original lanyard magazine and grip panels . . . and sent to Britain for service in WWI ! British proof marks on slide, frame and barrel. I can't stop fondling this girl. Fit is excellent does not rattle and what I would expect from the hand-fit quality of the day. I'm done

1970 Colt Python.
 
Flipped the1936 RC S/42 Mauser K98k I got last month (I didn't need two Obendorfs), and used the proceeds towards this one. 1937 BSW (Berlin-Suhler-Waffen), rarest of all makers with only 60,000 pieces from 1936-1939 when BSW was folded into Gustloffwerke. Next Lowest is Erma at 250,000 from 1935-1941.

By some miracle the stock is also BSW; e/4, as are a couple of other pieces. Added capture screws from my stash and an Israeli sling. So this is loaner #6 for my reenactment group. The crate I made last month has room for 2 more. Will be chasing down 2 more makers to complete the set of 10; Erma, DOU, and Steyr.

For those with sharp eyes, I did edit the spelling mistake on the crate.

Assembled a new upper with 100-300yd target & coyote hunting in mind. All black Friday sales. The lines on the upper match perfectly with a standard lower. Very impressed with the quality/price ratio.

Only new gun this month is a Gewehr 1888 off to the side, but I finally had to break into another wall and setup more display wall space with all of last months new stuff. Bought this second set the day before thanksgiving and it got here Monday. So just starting set it up today. Have a ton of vertical, horizontal and pistol pegs to put in and fill once more. Will have to panoramic the other wall at some point. Also suppose I should finish the third floor. 377A5EA3-1DFC-4166-BE1D-DF731998EE25.jpeg

Cool setup you got there. I’d love to have a gun room to display my guns but don’t have the space/security to do it at my current house.
