FYI..these holsters are USN WW2 issue for 4" S&W Victory models, and are sometimes called "Shore Patrol" (or SP) holsters. There is no provision for mounting to a standard waist belt, and there are...

They are water-slide, thin film decals...just like in model airplanes, trains, etc. They are opaque in that the design is red, blue, and gold, and these colors stand out against the pistol's finish....

3 have been sold; two left!

As many of you might recall, a month or so ago I was looking for one of the Mutual Aid decals that were found on the front strap of Inglis HP pistols. I've been able to produce a small quantity of...

I've never SEEN one of the decal repros, just heard that they do exist. I had one of the stickers once; put it on a pistol that I sold/traded years ago. The sticker wasn't really convincing at all;...

Hello to all. I've come across a really nice example of a Inglis WW2 fixed-sight Hi Power, and, like most, it's missing the multicolor "Maple Leaf" decal that was applied by the factory at the...

I'm looking for "stuffing" for the 3-cell ammo pouch that was issued with the Colt and S&W M1917 revolvers. To be exact, I need 6 half moon clips, and 18 rounds of WW1 dated issue or at least period...

All the Q-DA (very early mfg.) or DA-Q recoil plates I've seen were phosphated...

So...I'm gathering that this was a NY order that was subsumed by the Ordnance dep't upon war's outbreak, and they were never delivered to whatever NY authority ordered them. Correct?

Hello to all. In Bruce Canfield's "Combat Shotguns" (fine book, BTW), mention is made of a contract of Ithaca Model 37 riot guns with 22" barrels that was purchased by the "New York Police" in...

For sale are the following:

1) US M1917 holster for the Colt or S&W M1917 .45 revolvers. This holster was made by Graton & Knight in 1917, and is so marked. Unlike many of these holsters, it...

Turnbull had a display at Louisville a few years back, and one of their reps confirmed their doing the finish on the carbonia (WMK prefix) pistols. The only thing that bugs me about these is that...

The texture of the leather looks a little "off" to me, but the rest of the picture looks great. Could be the leather may have deteriorated to the point where a previous owner replaced it. I...

I measured the depth of the holes and they're both exactly 11/16". The holes themselves don't show any raised material at the edges, which would likely be present if a screw had ever filled them; it...

I paid $900 for mine a couple of years ago after not being able to find one for any less...they're not exactly common. I liked the Colt name on it, and the wood and level of finish seemed to be a...

The first "carbonia blue" WMK series were finished by Doug Turnbull...perhaps the best restorer of vintage Colt finishes out there. The finish he applied is breathtaking, and the pistol itself is as...

The receiver's been refinished as well...WRA carbines (as well as Garands and parked M12's) featured a very distinctive milky grey-green color to the phosphate finish when new.

Slight correction...the holes are 11/16" apart. The holes themselves are very regular and exactly 1/16" dia. They look drilled, rather than the holes left by a tack or nail.

Yes, it is on the bottom of the pistol grip...sorry for any confusion. I've never seen rack numbers on brass (or any other metal) disc...who would these have been used by?

Hello to all. This weekend, I picked up an IHC M1 (4494510) that was originally sold through the CMP, I believe as a correct grade; the price from CMP back in 1999 was $750. At any rate, it's a...

Seems like a case of somebody that knows just enough to be dangerous. He knows that Remington parts are somehow not correct on a Smith Corona (and it's Smith AND Wesson, not Corona...), yet clearly...

Hello to all. I'm looking for an original WW1 G&K holster for a M1917 revolver. I'm pretty picky about condition, and am looking for an example showing a nice tan/light brown color, with a clear...

Commando is SPF

3387033871338673386833869For sale is an example of what I feel is the biggest "sleeper" in US martial handguns, the Colt Commando. Much as S&W was commissioned to produce a military finish version of...
