That IS a little jewel.

My Model M/Type III is the next to the oldest thing I have. It's a 1913 vintage, but surely doesn't look as nice as that one.

The .32 Hand Ejector, 5th change will shade it a little in age I think. The Colt was my paternal grandfather's and the HE was my maternal grandfather's.

They both died before I came along, so handling these is sort of a connection that I appreciate.
