Hmmm...that Fairbairn-Sykes knife rings my chimes. Second Pattern, and worth a lot more than the $2.98 that I paid for a Third Pattern as a kid. I wonder what became of it while I was away in the Air Force.
If you guys haven't read Charlton Heston's autobiography, "In the Arena", find it. That's a Beretta O/U shotgun he's holding on the back cover.

Thanks for that info about Heston's first movie. He had a dramatic "presence" that few actors have had, and none does today. Russell Crowe is about the most macho they can do, and he looks kinda scruffy.

Here's a teaser: a screen shot from the opening credits:
By the way, the movie also features a couple of other guys you may have heard of: Jack Webb and Harry Morgan!!
Best Regards,
Les

Here's a teaser: screen shot from early in the movie "Dark City". Dropped by C.H.'s hand during a police raid. What a neat old style Detective Special. And this was supposed to take place right after the war... You can even read the date on the newspaper. Great detail in this flick.
Best Regards, Les

For the readers of this thread, I just posted some Enfield No 2 MK 1* shooting results on David's other British revolver thread http://smith-wessonforum.com/firearm...iv-webley.html.
David, Texas, M1A, Cryano, Bryan, and others who have been following these threads, I think you will be interested.
Best Regards, Les
