I only have one.

I only have photos of one. And they're old and not outstanding, unlike the pistol, whish IS old AND outstanding!:





Argentine Naval Contract of 1924 issue number 30 of 78 total. Barrel lockup is "bank vault" tight, and it shoots extremely well.

Now that ammo is twice the price it was 5-6 years ago, it doesn't get exercised as much, so maybe it's time to re-install it's original safety. Shot and won a few CQB matches with it at Ft. Benning.

Some old shooters- I think the Argentine Air Force pistol is getting a little tired. But after umpteen thousand rounds, it's not too surprising:
