This one is for $3000.
Maybe, but I think when you have to come up with an elaborate story to explain an issue, that it is time to let it go.
I actually have that book and it probably would have helped if I had gone through it in more detail. Unfortunately it only adds to my confusion. He makes no mention of the "Germany" mark, but he...
I have come across what claims to be a Model 1900 Army trials American Eagle Luger on an online auction. While it looks good there are several red flags, but since I only have 1 source of...

I just got this Smith & Wesson Model 2 and thought I would show it off. Interestingly the Auction house listed it as serial number 14996, but to my eyes and as confirmed on the inside of the grip it...
This is a shot in the dark and should go in the ~Angel~'s forum, but there is no pistol thread, so Badger said I could post it in the regular forum. I have a first model S&W Schofield revolver that...
That has the springs behind the bands this one has them in from. I have a type 3 1812 with the springs in front, but it is still not the same. The one I have looks a lot like a French 1777, but...
Not that I can see, but that area is cracked and split
I don't know if this helps. This is the flat opposite the lock. Looks like a script name or inspection mark. I am wondering if this might not be French.

It could be. I don't have a lot of pictures of the 1812 contract muskets. It is similar to the Daniel Henkels pictured in Moller, but the wrist is thicker and the comb is almost horizontal while...
This is the results of my latest gun show fiasco. I was looking for a Model 1816 Type 2. I saw this with the type 2 swivel attachment and and the 1816 type lock plate and then sort of became fixated...
I just acquired this Colt M1903 revolver. Decent shape, nice bore, and good lockup. Serial number 200311. The numbers on the crane and barrel don't match.

I have always used Fulton Armory Fulton Armory | Home
Why. Inquiring minds want to know.
I have a second model scabbard for a Winchester-lee M1895 bayonet. It is is solid, but old condition with the metal all "patina" and the leather "crackly". I know the bayonets are rare and valuable,...
Thanks, but I got one

It doesn't look like who ever got it ever used it
I bought an almost mint 1950's Colt Government Model and couple of months back. The finish is 99+%. The only thing I could see that was not original was that it has what looks like pre-WW 2 walnut...
I contacted the CMP customer service and they put me in touch with an armorer who sent me the correct handguard. Fits perfectly with the sight.
Thanks, but struck out :(
I just got my service grade Krag rifle from the CMP. It is in pretty good shape; muzzle where < 2, won't close on a no-go guage, no cracks around the bolt lug. Serial number is 453759 which puts it...
Mike: I have looked through all of my references and except to 1 sentence about the Hatcher Hole in Canfield, or references to USMC sniper rifles, I can't find any details about how the Marines...
