    lovely bd6. the S&W has the perfect wear.

    some may question my taste, but i love webley autoloaders.

    i doubt i will ever jump through the necessary hoops for a pistol license, but an autoloader would be no3 on my wishlist.
    going a bit off topic here, no's 1 & 2 being as close as i can get to my 2 favorate pistols my grandfather had. a 1917 dated mk6 webley and a 5 1/2"? barrelled .36 pocket navy. they are safe in my uncles hands but i imgine my cousin will want them.

    Thanks HR, I doubted it myself regarding pistols, but was surprised how easy it was, but mine are only for collecting, having a collection already of various Enfields probably helped and also various pistols that we can shoot also (shows you have an interest ). I started with a 1917 Webley Mk6.....

    I've learnt a lot regarding Section 7.1 Historic arms over the last year, specially regarding prices, as for most standard revolvers through dealers are around £600 +, same pistols go through the auction between £250- £350 at times, even with the buyers premium there are bargains to be had.
