World war 1 trench warfare was no doubt at least interesting especially with mustard gas. Good condition trench guns are sought after and bring a serious premium.

The M97 riot guns are very collectible also, but not as much as the trench guns. Short story, I was in a LGS in the mid 70's and an old man brought in a beautiful M97 riot gun. He wanted to sell it. I was the only other guy in the store. The dealer gave the old man 125.00 for it. The old man walked out. I said to the owner I want the gun. He said, I have to make a profit. I said fine, how much? He said 135.00. Done deal, I took it. Been in my safe since about 75-76. I think he said it belonged to a local police dept at some point in time.

Very nice pics guys. Thanks for sharing
