Description

This is something i picked up in a trade. it is a chinese shansei Broomhandle. calibur is 45 acp with a mint mirrored bore. there were built in 1929, 30 and 31 by the shansei arsenal in china, only 8500 were made. serial number is 6XX and is matching through out including the grips marked in pencil. Had this looked at and it is an origional one as markings were cut into sides of frame with a stamp ( see raised areas in pictures on sides of lettering) and not engraved like some copys that have shown up n the market. Shoulder stock is also an origional with leather side scabbard. You should see the faces and mouths drop at the range when i come in with this monster strapped to my side. as a shooter it is fairly decent up to 50 yards shooting 2 to 3 inch groupes ( hardly a target pistol) and recoil is like shooting a large calibur black powder gun, almost nothing. Figured i would saher this with the readers since i have a flair for unusual things
