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.

Sad day. I had not noticed that. I was able to search and find this photo in Cyrano's 6/26/2017 post:
