I am interested in the history surrounding the firearm. At present I own a 1900 Swedishicon M96/38 the Swedes didn't need to use in WW1 and a 1943 Swissicon K31 they didn't need to use in WW2. Also the firearm does not need to be pristine but does need to be a shooter. In fact the nicks and dings add to the historical character. At present I am looking at handguns from the same eras.
