You'd never be able to explain to them what their equipment would be worth in 70 years...
G I with Garand apart from being a giant is he carrying non standard side arm as the holster profile does not fit the 1911's I have seen more like P-38.
It IS a P38...
Astonishing pistol in it's day, double action autoloader? Huge improvement over the delicate and temperamental Luger and much cheaper to produce. I keep one on my night table.
I like them too...many features that were either copied outright or still in use today.
Mine is one of the Russian capture ones that were rehabed and came in a number of years ago. My only complaint is the double action trigger pull. I have owned cap guns that had better triggers.
Is this typical?
I found them to be rather good, especially when compared against their contemporaries of the era.Quote:

It wouldn't by chance be a Spreework? Some of those were hideous, and the worst that were made. The earlier ones weren't so bad.Quote:
