Although this thread was started by a now-defunct idiot, I just thought I'd post this rather nice piccy ; - Still one of WWII's prime souvenirs !
Luger and two bullets...in case the first one misses... Sorry I´m being nasty but cannot help myself right now...
dang wish there was some way I could post my weapons of mass destruction on here ! nice 9mm P-38 Martin. Reminds me of my (cyq) and the characteristic dark almost red grips. Sharp piece it is and does not shoot too bad. Personally I like my WW 1 Beholla better in 7.65mm which is quite accurate. I wonder if I can do a little reshaping of images and get them here ? ...........the wheels are turning now
Gramps had a 1903 Colt 32acp and an 1911 Colt 45acp [both loaded,wrapped in cheese cloth] when we went through his belongings.Have'nt had them appraised.Collector's items?
you are keeping both correct ? The Colt 45 is still used today and is a powerful side arm and usually accurate. In the 11mm range one of the most powerful handguns used during the wars. If in excellent condition the Colt 45 could go beyond $ 1000.00 easily
Brother got the .45 and I got the .32.I shot it at the shooting range and the wooden handles would vibrate loose plus it jammed alot.So it's locked up and just a decorative gun.It's a little funny watching people's faces when he walks into a store with it in a mil-issue olive drab holster in plain view as I'm liscensed to carry concealed.
I'm always interested by that Beholla.... My own Walther P-38 is a mint condition byf43, identical to the one in the image except, again, for the reddish/brown grips. Thought it was expensive ( I was unmarried and wealthy at the time ) but now it's a treasured piece. The Colt 1911A1 is very definitely a collector's item - the only weapon I 'missed' due to prices spiralling beyond my reach.....
Sorry for not making my posting clear enough- I did mean the topic starter or whoever that has been bugging us - the one who wanted Luger and I believe he should have two bullets as well at least... Sorry for that!
Sad that you friends could not make an escape to southern Oregon here. We have one of the largest and finest shooting ranges on the western coast of the US of A. We would have a great time popping off thousnads of rounds together. maybe I could pull out my Panzerschreck 54 and we could vaporize and old car out in one of the fields at 80 yards range ? .... Kai Personally the Osama mind blower pic fits right in. what the heck the guy is dead anyway and his staff of thugs are running the show. their time is short lived though
i hope you unloaded them D= first off the safter concern, 2nd off you'll ruin the spring (which im sure it already is) in the clip if you leave it loaded like that D= hehe nice find all the same
