Those are nice- too nice for me, alas! I'm looking for a couple of 38 and 32 das, blue, like 85% or so. "Pretty but shootable" condition. Any of those in your junk box? Thanks! [email protected]

They could even bore the barrels with two over-under tubes, and have the chambers in concentric rings, for more firepower! (Yes, there are already Belgian guns like this.)

Thank you all! There aren't any inspector's initials on it. I'll post some pictures tonight.

Hello! Just bought a Military S&W m1917, a four digit blued one. It has the hammer with the sides grooved, like a fingerprint whorl. (Made that way, not an actual fingerprint!) Is this original? I had it in mind that the grooved hammers were a thirties innovation and extra-cost option on...
