Thanks Stearman, I've been lookin' for a photo of Great Grandpa Renault! LOLOriginally Posted by Stearmen
I got this off the Yahoo Broomhandle group, I thought some of you might get a kick out of it!
As soon as I can figger out how to take a decent photo , I'll post a pic of the newest piece of nickel plated perfection I recently "acquired".........It is a S&W......
Renault
"on the town . . . . on the campus . . . . for leisure and pleasure, smoking a Kaywoodie Pipe is, more than ever, the badge of the modern masculine male" (Kaywoodie ad, circa 1960).
Sigh. That's one I still want. Now that I have the P38, the broomhandle Mauser is the other gun I've always wanted.I got this off the Yahoo Broomhandle group, I thought some of you might get a kick out of it!
Probably the last man alive packing a war-time, 7.65mm, FEG. I love old school cool...
I'm surprised anyone knows what it is....!
Hey, in cyberspace there's someone who knows what just about everything is!
Sarge
Holland's .375: One Planet, One Rifle . . . for one hundred years!
As long as I posted that photo of the gentleman with his Broomhandle, here is my Mauser C96, made in roughly 1913.
Oh, GOD, DUDE! That is my dream piece, complete with stock!
I must hate you now, and envy you as well. Nothing personal, you understand. It's just my burning envy and avariciousness for that firearm.
Yeah, and sold my C96 to a friend....... Wifey has an FEG in 9mm Kurz !!! Came in the shop about 4 months ago with an extra mag. Being that she collects small autos she had to have it! It is extremely clean. (Ssssshhh!!! I've got a 1914 Mauser Pocket auto secreted on my workbench for her!!!!)....... Someday I suppose I should post a pic of all her "pocket autos" here on the forum.....
Here's the latest addition. I decided to go ahead a snap a pic of her on my workbench today. She is lovely!!!!
New Smith &Wesson Herritage series Model of 1950 (model 22) in .45 ACP. Glad still have about 8 boxes of "auto rim" stashed! Personally I think this is the perfect revolver!!!! Can't wait to slap a polished aluminum "Tyler-T" on her!
