Could the inspector's initials actually be CWE rather than CWA? Many WWI Model 1907 slings made by Plant Bros. Company are marked PB&Co 1918 and have the CWE inspector's mark on them.

His email has been hacked. I got one too. I replied and received a response saying he had Covid, could not get out of the house, was trying to buy an Apple gift card for someone but was unable to...

A star marked carbine with that serial number would have been made in 1881.

The Winchester Collectors website will have more accurate serial number production dates than the other websites. If you care to divulge the serial number, I can tell you which month and year the...

I seem to recall that approximately the first 3,000 of the 32 caliber pistols were blued. They switched over to the parkerized finish around November 1944. The vast majority of them were...

Are you saying that Martin B. Retting Guns supplied Trapdoors to the film industry? Retting Guns is still in business and is run by the founder's sons. I know them and can ask if they ever...

I've seen dozens of movie prop house marked guns. In fact, years ago I was able to tour the Stembridge Gun Rental business who furnished firearms to the movie and television industry for decades,...

For WWII knives I would recommend "U.S. and Allied Military Knives World War II" Vol. I and Vol. II by Bill Walters. Vol., I (197 pages) covers the M3 trench knife and the M4 bayonet. Vol. II (697...

The barrels on the MkI shotguns were 21" with a Modified bore.

That's pretty funny.

That scene is actually from the German film "Downfall" about Hitler's last days in the bunker. It was a very good film. Anyone else see it?

Bud, ask your question on the Winchester Arms Collectors Association forum. There should be several people over there who can give you some suggestions. The link is below:

colt thompson, the barrel on the folder you sold that doesn't have the bayonet adaptor and mag tube extension looks like it has a 1971 barrel date. My folder as well as the other folders I have...

[QUOTE=Charlie Flick;613972]Hello Tom:

Good to see you here on the Forum. It seems like it has been a long time since we have communicated. Hope all is well with you.

Charlie, good to hear...

That's an interesting one, Charlie. Jeff's ONG riot gun w/o bayonet adaptor has a fixed buttstock. All the other ONG riots w/o adaptors I've seen also had fixed buttstocks.

Shotguns in and of themselves are not prohibited under the Hague Convention. However, there are prohibitions on the kinds of ammo that can be used in shotguns against enemy combatants. I don't...

I've seen the London Bridge pouches before. Not sure if they are military contract pouches. Usually military pouches have a National Sock Number (DSA or DLA number) and lift-the-dot fasteners. ...

Who is the maker? Is it London Bridge?

BT&B CO. is Belber Trunk & Bag Co. of Philadelphia, Pa. who was a WWI manufacturer of leather sling parts. BT&B CO is one of several leather manufacturers listed in the House of Representatives War...

Yes, way early. And as you mentioned, there's nothing in the Lend Lease small arms lists showing shotguns. And aren't there some records of direct sales to Britain before the Lend Lease program? ...

It is a 1920 gun. According to the Winchester Polishing Room serialization records, that is the year the serial number was applied to the receiver. When available for a particular model Winchester...

Doubtful that it's a Lend Lease gun. It's a post WWI production shotgun made in 1920. It's probably not even a military shotgun. More likely a commercial trench gun either sold to Great Britain or...

I watched it the other night. It's a good film, but not great. Very short at about 90 minutes long. Other than the first few minutes of the film, it's all about their effort to protect a convoy of...

Some National Guards don't use or have their own State purchased weapons. They use weapons issued to them by the federal government. I would think if those Guards were federalized they could take...
