I think I've posted a few..........albeit not as old as your ads.
Here's a couple from a 1981 Australian Gun magazine.

My favorite ads... the Ruger vs S&W war.
Opening shot from Ruger:
S&W's response:
My cousin being a big Ruger DA revolver fan at the time, and me being a S&W fan, had a friendly rivalry going.
When the Ruger ad came out, he never missed an opportunity to needle me about my skinny "anorexic" S&W.
When the S&W response ad came out, I took to hiding those little take out ketchup packets you get at fast food places in his range bag whenever we went to the range.
Great fun to get home and find a message on my answering machine from him cussing me out for those packets.

Glad to see others chiming in with advertisements. I thought this was a worthwhile thread when it first started. Lets keep it up. The Moderators may want to think of making this thread a sticky. Lots of history here.

Not only will you not find many---if any, advertisements for this one, you will also have a tough time finding one of them. This was one of the first SCARY plastic guns.
Here is one in the flesh.

IIRC, the Marines on the 'Canal weren't fond of their Reisings and many of them wound up in the bay. My PD had two of them and they worked fine in dry, clean conditions.

My Step-Father was there and he never really talked about it. From what I have read in most situations in civilian life the Reisings worked fine (ie: clean & dry). In combat they were no good as they did not work well, was it the dirt, mud, muck or wet of combat or did the actions gum up from firing them to much?

From what I've read it was a combination of factors. The Reising was originally conceived as a police weapon. There was some amount of hand fitting in production, takedown and reassembly could be difficult, parts interchangeability was poor. There were several points in the design where fouling and dirt could build up and cause jams especially under field conditions. Users also quickly became unhappy with the magazines. Standard magazines were 20 round but were a double column, single feed design of relatively light construction that was vulnerable to malfunctions. A single column mag was produced that fed more reliably but it only held 12 rounds.
As the war continued the Reisings were withdrawn from field service and relegated to such use as base security and plant guards where they were not exposed to the harsher conditions of field use. Many ended up being supplied to civilian police departments where they were quite adequate for the job. They simply weren't built to withstand the harsh conditions of a field combat weapon

Colt MidRange .38 Special
I owned one of these for a while. Shot it, but since it had the box and all the original paperwork, I felt a collector should have it. One of our Board members bought it.
