Gew 98, mfg. 1916. Chopped up stock, not much bluing left, bolt safety doesn't work, and it's seen better days. But dangit, I love it.

Colt .38Spl Police Positive made in 1932. Still has 90-95% original finish.

73 trapdoor. It started out with a $500 tag on it. By the time I got done inspecting it, I offered the pawn shop $100. He accepted my offer and I could only turn up $97 on the spot. They thought that was fine. I got home and started more research and found out it is a pre-custer, ooops
