I picked up a Japanese WWII Nambu, Type 94, 8 mm pistol, this week at a local gun shop. I’ve been keeping an eye out for one for years. Very rare in LGS and at gun shows they’re way over priced. I recognized the first Kanji marks as being from an armory in Japan. Having owned an Arisaka...

I was out making the rounds of the local gun shops this afternoon. At Sportsman's Warehouse they were having a boat registration for a local fishing tournament. The place was packed, since it was a Saturday. At the front entrance a group of ladies were soliciting donations for Cancer Awareness...

I bought a Japanese Military Arisaka Rifle, Type 38 (1905) Design. It’s in reasonable shape for its age. It just needs a bit of cleaning and should be ready to roll. I get the thing home and pop off the dust cover. The Mum is of course missing. That was a 16 Petal Chrysanthemum...

I just acquired this Guardian Model of 1878 made by Clement & Fagnus Co. 9 mm. I know what a Lefaueux Style looks like. LeFaucheux was a French arquebusier who invented the pin fire ignition system. I've done some reading on pin fires and appreciate their history and development. It's in...

Big Brown (UPS) just delivered a second Mendi Replica of a late 17th Century Dueling pistol. I have the top one since June and bought the second on Gun Broker. These are .36 cal and this one looks like she has been on duty as a wall hanger for some time. She's got a little bit of surface rust...
