Default Great Day - Colt 1911A1, Beretta 92D, Pre-Model 10, Winchester 42

Didn't know which forum to put this in so I chose this one as three of the four firearms are not S&W. My wife and I went to visit a younger couple and their family about 150 miles away. Didn't expect it to a be "gun day". We have known the wife since she was a child. Her dad also a friend passed several years ago and she wanted me to look over some firearms that she inherited. I was amazed when she opened the safe and gave me access. I spent this morning thoroughly cleaning and lubing four of them and documenting them for her and instructing them on how to care for the firearms. What a pleasure. In the afternoon we went out on the property and under my supervision her husband and three teenage boys (as well as me) shot them. They had never shot them.

Colt 1911A1 (1943) all correct and original WWII.(No rebuild)
S&W .38 M&P (Pre Model 10) C serial number with matching grips.
Beretta 92D Centurion
Winchester Model 42 .410 pump shotgun (1941)

What a beautiful fall day in the Valley of Va.

Like they use to say in the Old Milwaukee Beer advertisements...
