I just rediscovered this thread and noticed I liked but did not comment on it. I like them all, especially the engraved and the modified Model 18s. I would sure love some more photos of those two.

Thanks,

I really like the modified Model 18! Would also like to see more images but unless Cyrano sold to another forum member, I do not believe that is possible.

Cyrano is listed as an Absent Comrade.
