NEW MEMBER, THE OLD COLLECTOR

[the old collector]

I have been collecting for 35 yrs.  I have many interesting pistols (in my opinion).

 

A 1904 Mannlicher

 

An early Reichsrevolver with artillery unit markings; 11 mm German

 

A MAS 1873 8 mm revolver

 

A 1910 Mauser 25

 

A CZ 38 Nazi run; 380 auto

 

A P38 with Holster that has seen extensive action, with the name R. Muller written inside; issued in Aug 1944; possible Bulge Weapon

 

A 1934-35  RZM PPK serial number 82,6xxx; heavily used

 

4 different Webleys in .455, 45 ACP and 38 SW from WW1 and WW2

 

An 1878 Tranter in 450 Ely marked R Jones, 30 Chapel St. Liverpool (possible ZULU War issue)

 

And a few others

 

I also have a K98 bayonet with a 30 cal bullet through it that was taken off a dead German soldier by my friends dad.

 

 

All have ammo and have been shot at least a 12 times; The Tranter shot twice then cracked

 

I worked 10 yrs for DoD Marine Corp led Joint Directorate on advance concept anti-personnel weapon development (Directed Energy)

 

I have owned and driven a 1989 Supercharged MR2, a 2003 BMW Z3 and a 1993 Corvette C4 350;  Still have two of these in great condition

 

I am 74 yrs old.

Hello "old collector" and welcome to the WMF!

[SARGE]

Welcome aboard.

THANKS,  THIS SEEMS LIKE A FORUM OF REAL EXPERTS;  IT AIN'T ALWAY SO

Got to Love Webley's, I was very surprised how nicely they shoot when I first shot mine.

HAD 4 OF THEM AT ONE TIME.  A GREAT REVOLVER

I'm jealous. I have a nice 1944 P38 and 1941 P08 (and a 1918 1911) but have always longed for a revolver, particularly a Webley. Too old for any new acquisitions now. Your inventory makes for some nice reading. Welcome aboard.

thanks for thos remarks;  i got all my webleys in the 1990s ; they wernt hard to find; one broke down this year and couldnt be fixed; i had the cylinder leaded and gave it to my grandson;  lately my prize is a 1936 ppk rzm in 32 acp.  ppk shoot much better in 32;  9mm is too much for that little pistol
