Yes, a pin fire with a folding trigger, could be Italian or French?

Back when this got started, I wasn't "in the club" shall we say, but not too long ago I bought this little Smith and Wesson, Third Model Hand Ejector in 32 Smith and Wesson Long. It's been refinished, and had the wrong period grips, but it was (releatively) inexpensive, and my wife thought it was "cute", so I figured "why not?" She was right. It is "cute."
S/N puts it as being from the early 1920's so I guess it slides in here, just above the bar. I have fired it, but it's more a "fidget spinner" on my desk really.

1905 Colt Automatic a customer brought into the shop to show me a few years ago. He was pressed for time but gave me a chance to snap this one quick photo before he left.

This is a Colt Police Positive .38 made in 1908. It belongs to a friend, it was given to him. Believe the grips are from that era.

This also was given to my friend, The pistol is a Colt Model 1903 Hammer in .38 ACP. The grips of course are aftermarket, but extremely well made....However, no idea who did them. We replaced the grips with reproductions of the originals. he likes it better that way.

I picked this one up in 2016 for $1030. Some pictures are before I polished it and some after.

Here’s one I recently picked up. It’s a Remington UMC 1911 and it shipped Sept 12, 1918. Only 21,767 made and many destroyed after the war.
